AMR Santa Clara is focused on building and supporting community.
Community Engagement:
Our programs are intended to empower and engage people on how to assist other before help arrives. In certain situations, this is known to reduce preventable deaths.
Workforce Development:
This initiative is designed to address local employment needs. We provide employment with training and career development opportunities.
Our efforts have resulted in a diverse workforce representative of the community. This allows our caregivers to better understand and cater to varying needs, fostering stronger relationships, and improving service delivery.

The ABC’s of Water Safety – Click to Learn More
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a lightweight, portable device that delivers an electric shock through the chest to the heart. The shock can stop an irregular rhythm and allow a normal rhythm to resume in a heart in sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is an abrupt loss of heart function. If it’s not treated within minutes, it quickly leads to death. Most sudden cardiac arrests result from ventricular fibrillation. This is a rapid and unsynchronized heart rhythm originating in the heart’s lower pumping chambers (the ventricles). The heart must be “defibrillated” quickly, because a victim’s chance of surviving drops by 7 to 10 percent for every minute a normal heartbeat isn’t restored.
