In wolfeboro the belief is that we are so close to Huggins its worth stopping into the hospital first and then we do currently head straight to CMC. Its almost always with the same EMTs and Ambulance so its a very quick visit!
We don't handle the 911 for Alton and I don't believe they currently have the staffing for STEMI protocols (normal 911s require 2 EMTs but STEMIs require 3). So in Alton a heart attack with be transported to the nearest appropriate facility (either Huggins or Frisbie). If its Huggins you then get transferred to our ambulance and we bring you to CMC. Not the ideal scenario but it is how its done in most of the state.
Oh and CMC is outstanding! Its where I had my heart condition treated.
