IN RE: Department of Human Services-Creation of Health Emergency Liason Program
(HELP)
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS as many as 5000 citizens and employees enter the County Courthouse
Complex on a daily basis, and this number continues to grow; and
WHEREAS with the number of people in the Courthouse and on the County complex
increasing each year, there are an increasing number of 911 calls made on behalf of employees
and citizens who are in need of emergency medical assistance; and
WHEREAS, Oakland County's Judicial Branch has also seen a need to provide
emergency medical capabilities and has sought to have an emergency medical response program
established; and
WHEREAS there are medical personnel who could be trained in Advanced Life Support
employed at the Medical Care Facility and Health Division who could be called upon to
administer first response emergency treatment if mobile medical equipment and supplies were
available; and
WHEREAS in the interest of service to the public and our employees, such medical
equipment (crash carts) could be equipped and strategically located so that at the time of a
medical emergency, the equipment and the trained personnel could respond and administer
emergency treatment until such time as the 911 Emergency Medical Technicians arrive.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes the County Executive, through the Department of Human Services, to evaluate the
creation of a Health Emergency Liaison Program (HELP) which can be reached by a direct
phone number and which will provide a trained team of County medical professionals who will
administer first response emergency medical assistance to any one in need of such assistance on
the County Service Center. This evaluation, to include associated costs, shall be reported to the
Public Services Committee by February 15, 1998.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
