Rockland County First Responders Ready For Ebola The Rockland County Health Department is developing Ebola Response Teams that will be deployed to calls for help in which a case of Ebola is suspected. Even though vigilance is nothing new for paramedics, our specially-trained EMS teams will ensure the timely and safe transport of potential patients with Ebola, while protecting their personal health. EMS workers are being educated on the latest protocols for identification, isolation and medical evaluation of patients requiring care, with extensive training in the practice of donning and removing personal protective equipment. As part of the plan, the Ebola Response Teams will use a dedicated ambulance for the transport of any suspected patient. Rockland's Assistant EMS Coordinator Desiree Leone-Stoll and Enhanced 9-1-1 Coordinator Pablo Ramos display the personal protective equipment (PPE) used by local first responders.
