The Most Read Stories of 2022: Boyertown Community Ambulance Offers Residents the Bargain of a Lifetime

On December 12 "The Expression" invited you to help save lives by supporting the Boyertown Community Ambulance Service. This article could be one of the most important things you read.

Although the subscription drive has been held during the month of December, BCAS continues to gladly accept new subscribers and donations, including online at its website.   

During this season of giving, the Boyertown Community Ambulance Service (BCAS) is offering subscribers a different type of gift: the peace of mind that comes with knowing that someone who may be able to save your life is just one call away.

Jim Boyer, Boyertown Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Chief explains, “Last week we saved a woman’s life. She placed the 9-1-1 call herself, but when the ambulance crew arrived, she was unresponsive and in cardiac arrest.” The local fire company was also dispatched and had begun CPR. When the EMS arrived, Boyer continues, “We immediately began life-saving protocols and halfway to the hospital, we got a pulse. We lost her a second time and had to bring her back again.”

Reflecting back on this life-changing experience, he adds, “Everything worked. She survived.”
