THE CONCEPTWhat Is a
BLS Sprint Unit?
A BLS Sprint Unit is a compact, agile medical response vehicle staffed by a certified EMT and a licensed NYS Paramedic — purpose-built for non-emergency sick calls that don't require a full ALS ambulance or a 911 response.
When someone has the flu, a bad headache, pink eye, or needs a wellness check — they deserve professional medical attention without tying up emergency resources. That's exactly what our Sprint Units deliver.
Every Sprint Unit Includes
Handles patient transport, vitals, and BLS interventions
Full clinical assessment, treatment decisions, and ALS capability if needed

FAQSprint Unit Questions
Common questions about our non-emergency medical response service.
1What is a BLS Sprint Unit and when should I use one?
A BLS Sprint Unit is a compact medical response vehicle with a certified EMT and licensed NYS Paramedic on board. Use it for non-emergency sick calls like flu, headache, pink eye, minor injuries, vital sign checks, and wellness visits — situations that need professional medical attention but do not require a 911 emergency response.
2How is a Sprint Unit different from calling 911?
Sprint Units handle low-acuity, non-life-threatening medical issues. They are smaller, faster to deploy, and keep full ALS ambulances and 911 resources available for true emergencies like chest pain, severe trauma, or stroke symptoms. If you have a life-threatening condition, always call 911.
3Who can request a Sprint Unit?
Anyone can request a Sprint Unit — individual patients at home, nursing homes and ALFs for resident sick calls, schools and daycares for student medical assessments, and employers for workplace illness or minor injury response. Facilities can also set up standing contracts for guaranteed coverage.
4How quickly can a Sprint Unit arrive?
Sprint Units are designed for rapid deployment. Because they are compact and agile, they navigate Bronx streets faster than full-size ambulances. Same-day requests are typically confirmed within minutes and dispatched within 30–60 minutes depending on location and demand.
5Does every Sprint Unit have a Paramedic?
Yes. Every Sprint Unit carries a licensed NYS Paramedic who performs full clinical assessments, vital monitoring, and treatment decisions. This ensures patients receive the same level of medical oversight as an ALS response, even for non-emergency calls.
6What conditions do Sprint Units handle?
Sprint Units respond to flu and fever, headache and migraine, pink eye, mild respiratory issues, dehydration, medication concerns, minor injuries and falls, vital sign checks, general weakness, dental pain, elderly wellness checks, post-discharge follow-up, anxiety, heat exhaustion, GI distress, and wound care.
7Can my facility set up a standing Sprint Unit contract?
Yes. Nursing homes, ALFs, schools, and employers can set up standing contracts with guaranteed unit availability on a recurring schedule. Contracts include priority dispatch, custom coverage hours, and volume pricing. Contact us at (929) 815-4275 to discuss your facility's needs.
8How much does a Sprint Unit call cost?
Per-call rates vary depending on the type of visit and transport needs. Standing contracts offer significant savings. We also work with some private insurance and employer health plans. Call us for a custom quote.
