Event Medical & Safety provides professional on-site medical coverage for events, film and television productions, corporate functions, and private clients. Our mission is to deliver reliable, well-structured medical support that integrates seamlessly into your operations while prioritizing safety, professionalism, and discretion.
We specialize in non-transport medical coverage, including Advanced First Aid and Basic Life Support (BLS), staffed by licensed and experienced EMTs. Advanced Life Support (ALS) and ambulance services are available through approved, properly licensed partner providers when required by permit, venue, or event scope.
Our operations are conducted under the oversight of a licensed Medical Director (MD), with written treatment protocols designed to mirror applicable local EMS and county guidelines. We maintain comprehensive insurance coverage—including general liability, professional liability, and workers’ compensation—at limits that meet or exceed typical venue and regulatory requirements.
Whether supporting a live production, large-scale public event, executive engagement, or private gathering, our team coordinates efficiently with event management, production staff, venue personnel, and local emergency services. We focus on preparedness, clear communication, and measured response—ensuring medical concerns are handled professionally while minimizing disruption.
Questions about staffing levels, permit requirements, insurance documentation, treatment protocols, or transport coordination are common.
