William N. & Elizabeth K. Frederick
Endowment for Pre-Hospital Services

The William N. & Elizabeth K. Frederick Endowment for Pre-Hospital Services was established in 2005.  Mrs. Frederick, who has been a loyal friend of the Hospital for many years, established the Endowment because of her admiration and respect for the employees of the Pre-Hospital Services Department.

Gifts to the endowment provide support to the Hospital’s Pre-Hospital Services, which provides emergency care and advanced life support to Union, Snyder, and eastern Centre and Upper Northumberland counties.  Evangelical's Emergency Advanced Life Support Services take the Evangelical Emergency Room directly to the scene of an accident. These paramedic teams take equipment and life-saving drugs to the patient's side and begin vital medical treatment before the victim is transported to the Hospital.

With these units, Evangelical can get certified health professionals to the patient's side, providing treatment faster than ever before.  By the time the victim arrives at the Hospital, the paramedic team has already administered life-sustaining treatments. Since the emergency room staff already knows the victim's condition, they can quickly take action.
