VolunteerMedical Care Providers
We utilize Texas certified EMS personnel to staff our Mobile Intensive Care Units as they provide 911 emergency service to those in need. Anyone who possesses a current Texas Department of Health EMS Certification (any level) may apply for volunteer membership. Once you become a member we ask that you contribute by riding at least two 11-12 hour shifts per month. Non-Medical Drivers
Not all of our staffing opportunities require prior medical training. Many of our volunteers contribute as non-medical drivers. This valuable position helps fulfill critical staffing needs and frees additional medically trained personnel to focus on patient care. To meet insurance requirements, non-medical drivers must be at least 25 years of age and possess an insurable driving record. Specialized training will be provided. Once you become a member we ask that you contribute by riding at least two 11-12 hour shifts per month. CPR Instructors
Our CPR program has grown from training dozens to hundreds of people each year. CPR saves lives, and with your help we can get this valuable training to more people. Anyone with, or qualified to earn, a current AHA CPR Instructor certification can be part of our growing community education program. Course availability is frequent and there are even opportunities to lead your own regularly scheduled class.
Volunteer Benefits
Cypress Creek EMS is dedicated to providing a rewarding atmosphere for the volunteers who make a difference in our organization. To help achieve this, the organization provides several benefits. The more subjective benefits such as state of the art equipment, aggressive treatment therapies, open protocols, and the opportunity to practice your skills in a supportive environment help provide a positive experience within the organization. Uniform
Upon successful completion of the introductory program, CCEMS provides each new member with two red uniform shirts (with the CCEMS shoulder emblem) and a pair of black “medic” style uniform pants. Insurance
Cypress Creek EMS provides all active members with worker’s compensation style insurance coverage in case of duty related illness or injury. Immunizations
In order to provide a safer environment, CCEMS offers Hepatitis B Vaccinations, annual tuberculosis testing, and flu vaccines at no cost to the member. Education
