Neuhaus am rennweg/coburg – in the last few years, carrying out the work of the regiomed rescue service in neuhaus am rennweg was not only an official task, but also a sporting one: from the offices in the former administration building of the hospital, four floors of stairs had to be climbed to reach the emergency vehicles – a challenge with a thuringia-wide turnaround time for rescue vehicles of one minute. The joy is all the greater now that the rescue service staff have been able to move into their new domicile in the beautiful view 53 after a construction period of just over two years.
With a small inauguration ceremony the guard was opened on the 1. October ceremonial opening by regiomed management and shareholders sebastian strau bel (coburg district administrator) and hans-peter schmitz (sonneberg district administrator). "In the new ground-level guardhouse, the employees now find optimal working conditions. Work and recreation rooms are right next to the vehicle hall. Overruns of the printout times will now finally be a thing of the past", explained managing director alexander schmidtke. And the direct connection to the hospital and the helicopter landing pad offer ideal conditions for the rescue service. The investment costs for the project amount to approximately 1.75 million euros. The vehicles used are a rescue transport vehicle, two ambulances and an emergency medical service vehicle. According to a press release, there were a total of 4485 missions in 2019, during which 172,784 kilometers were covered.
