Please remember to call 911 if you are having chest pain (do not drive). NSH Ambulance EMS has the ability to perform EKG testing on-scene which helps provide immediate diagnostic information and monitoring for various cardiac conditions. Our mobile EKG capabilities allow our EMS staff to transmit cardiac monitoring to the ER physician while in route.
