As a private not-for-profit community based service organization, a significant portion of our capital is utilized in the purchase of equipment. Our equipment selection is based upon the latest advances in the ambulance industry along with input from our field staff. Through this process we have procured an inventory of vehicles and equipment that is state of the art, cost effective and functional.

Currently staffing a modern fleet of 30 ambulances and support units designed based on service needs.

As units are decommissioned, many have found suitable homes to spend their retirement; Coastal often donates retired units to local police, fire departments and out-of-country medical outreach programs as a means of giving back to the community.

Delivering safe, efficient and timely ambulance service are some of our primary goals. GPS technologies assist us as we pursue these goals. Our dispatchers are able to locate where every ambulance is at all times, thus eliminating any doubt as to closest unit to handle a call. Dispatchers can assign calls to the crews through GPS notification where it will map out the directions for the crew. Additionally, adherence to posted speed limits and other driving behaviors can be monitored by staff and the information used to improve crew performance.

Safety is a priority for Coastal and as such we have selected to purchase and maintain our stretchers through Stryker, a noted industry leader in ambulance stretcher manufacturing. All units are equipped with electro- hydraulic stretchers capable of lifting 700 lbs. and sustaining weights of 1200 lbs. All crewmembers undergo comprehensive stretcher training, which includes the process of daily stretcher inspections. All stretchers are maintained annually by either Equipment Management Services (EMSAR) or Stryker, both authorized service dealers.
