 West County Paramedic Association

2024-2025 Membership Drive

Dear West County Resident,

   
Please join us by becoming members of the West County Paramedic Association (WCPA) for the 2024-2025
membership year. Your membership is critical to our ability to continue to provide life-saving emergency medical
services (EMS) to the residents of western Erie County.

WCPA was formed as a non-profit organization in 1979 to provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) services when a
higher level of medical care is needed to assist the volunteer fire departments who provide Basic Life Support
(BLS). ALS care is needed on more than 50% of all 9-1-1 emergency medical calls. In January of 2024, WCPA was
reorganized to ensure its long-term sustainability. Representatives from the Boroughs of Girard, Lake City and
Platea and the Townships of Fairview, Girard and Springfield became members of the WCPA Board of Directors.
These municipalities made a financial commitment to support WCPA to ensure that these vital services would
continue for our residents.

Currently, WCPA is the only ALS provider located in the West County region and staffs two ambulances 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. WCPA provides both ALS and BLS coverage to areas without volunteer fire department-based
EMS. In order to fully fund WCPA’s operations, we rely on insurance company/patient billing, municipal subsidy
and members like you. Unfortunately, insurance reimbursements cover less than half of the cost incurred to run
each call.

If your municipality has recently enacted a fire or EMS tax, you may be wondering where those funds are going.
These taxes help support vital services provided by the local volunteer fire departments and WCPA, but do not
cover the shortfall in the annual operating costs of these non-profit organizations. Therefore, local volunteer fire
departments and WCPA must continue to rely on community support through annual fund drives, fundraisers, and
membership campaigns.

WCPA is committed to keeping membership fees as low as possible and the cost for 2024 remains the same as last
year. As a Household Member, any time a West County ambulance provides treatment and transport to you or a
member of your household WCPA will discount 50% of the costs not covered by insurance.
Thank you in advance for your continued support!

West County Paramedic Association Board of Directors: Mark Gennuso (Fairview Township), Jeff Eaton (Springfield
Township), Doug Wright (Girard Borough), Lindy Platz (Girard Township), Tom Eberle (Lake City Borough), and
Stan Freeland (Platea Borough)
