Bear-A-Medics

Bear-A-Medics are used to comfort children who need pre-hospital medical assistance. Each bear is sewn, stuffed and labeled by BellSouth Pioneer Volunteers. The bears have "911" printed on their chests, reminding children what number to call in case of an emergency.

For more information, contact a Pioneers Representative.

André, the Acadian Ambulance Robot

André teaches youngsters about first aid, emergency medicine and public safety in his appearances at schools, fairs and malls. André talks to children and helps them feel comfortable about being around an ambulance with lights and sirens.To request an André; visit at your function, send an email with date, time, location, and description of the event.

Stand By Services

As a demonstration of our community concern, we also stand by at college and high school athletic events and at major community activities such as fairs and festivals. To request stand-by service, send an email with date, time, location, and description of the event.

Med Cart

Because it is difficult to maneuver a regular ambulance through crowds at such events, Acadian's fleet includes Med Cart, a fully equipped emergency medical vehicle, staffed by paramedics, allowing advanced life support equipment to be maneuvered through crowded areas to victims of accident or illness.
