| It is no secret that public
safety personnel respond to emergency incidents that require extreme
physical output. This output can often result in adverse physiological
and psychological outcomes. Over time, these adverse outcomes can
affect the overall wellness of the department. According to the U.S.
Public Health Service, more than 50% of all deaths and disabilities
are caused by conditions that could have been prevented.
OUR GOAL
The ultimate goal of Public Safety Medical Services is to improve
the quality of life of all uniformed personnel. This is accomplished
through investing resources to improve or maintain health and fitness.
Our programs can help you realize significant cost savings in lost
work time, workers compensation and disability claims. In addition,
you will experience other intangible benefits such as higher morale.
HEALTH AND FITNESS PACKAGES
Utilizing health professionals such as exercise physiologists
and dietitians, we design programs aimed at reducing
health risks, increasing productivity and enhancing individual awareness
of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. These program elements also contribute
toward improving personal safety and minimizing on-the-job injuries.
Our programs are consistent with the standards of the NFPA.
