Event Medicine

Responsive and Effective Medical Care for Your Event

We provide quick and effective emergent medical care to all patrons and staff of special events within Northeast Ohio. Our goal is to keep your event attendees at the event if appropriate to do so. This helps keep the local emergency rooms and emergency medical services available for their communities.

Typical Types of Care 

We not only provide medical care for emergencies, but we also offer care for minor needs such as:

  • headaches
  • scrapes
  • sunburns
  • lacerations
  • blisters

We typically do not perform health screenings such as BP checks, blood glucose checks, etc., but please contact our office for more information to schedule these offerings.
