About us
Central Park Medical Unit The Central Park Conservancy estimates that Central Park is host to more than 42 million visitors each year. Since 1975 the all volunteer Central Park Medical Unit has continued to be the front line Emergency Medical Service and Response for thousands of calls for emergency assistance to Central Park’s sick and injured. At over 843 acres of open space Central Park is located in the center of Manhattan Island and is home to a reservoir, several large performance venues, a fully operating zoo, numerous military monuments, a carousel, a swimming pool, and two ice skating rinks just to name a few making it the world’s busiest city park. It is worthy to note that CPMU responds to dozens of calls on a daily basis during our hours of operation, many of these calls are true medical emergencies resulting in life saving care -- which represents well in excess of two and a half million dollars in FREE care to the people of New York City. Central Park Medical Unit boasts a fleet of state of the art ambulances, six medic bike units and a specially equipped all terrain vehicle which allow them to achieve and hold a state record response time of consistently under a life saving 3 minutes.

Thanks to CPMU Member Dr. Paramedic George W. Contreras, who was a technical advisor and actor in the award-winning movie Asphalt City for obtaining 25 seats for worthy CPMU volunteers to the Red Carpet Premiere. The movie aside from being entertaining is almost documentary in style (thanks to George) and touches upon several critical factors in EMS today such as PTSD, the need for pay parity, suicide, the need for physiological counseling, and so much more. The casting is excellent. The movie is intense, shocking, and very powerful. Big Thanks to all the stars who came to answer questions before and after the movie. Our volunteers appreciate your time and generosity. #parkmedical #centralparkmedicalunit #emt #paramedic #fdny #nypd #ems #ambulance

https://lnkd.in/dEqDbGrd Congratulations to CPMU Dr. Paramedic George W. Contreras who has who has a split-second cameo in this trailer at approximately second 51 or 52. George was actually a technical consultant for the movie and the actors were training and rode with George on his bus for several months to get a feel for things. Not sure which service they rode with? It was not CPMU. Maybe Northwell or Wykoff? What's it like George to work alongside stars like Sean Penn, Katherine Waterston and Mike Tyson to mention just a few. #parkmedical #centralparkmedicalunit #ems #emt #paramedic #fdny
