When a medical emergency strikes in a remote location, the speed and expertise of the response team can mean the difference between life and death. ResQ Health's Emergency Medical Response Teams are trained, equipped, and positioned to deliver critical care anywhere in our coverage network — often reaching patients faster than local emergency services.

Our strategically positioned response teams maintain an average deployment time of under 60 minutes to major urban centres and 2-3 hours to remote locations across our coverage area.
