Frequently Asked Questions

  • Elara Medical provides on-site medical coverage for events. We staff EMTs, paramedics, nurses, and physicians to manage injuries, medical emergencies, and risk planning during live events.

  • Event medical standby means having trained medical professionals on-site during an event to respond immediately to injuries or medical emergencies. This reduces response times, improves outcomes, and lowers risk for event organizers. This approach also allows local fire departments and EMS agencies to remain available for 911 calls, rather than dedicating municipal resources to event coverage.

  • We support a wide range of events, including:

    • Corporate events and retreats

    • Sporting events and competitions

    • Festivals and large gatherings

    • Film and production sets

    • Remote and high-exposure environments

    We also provide medical support for travel, and destination-based trips where on-site medical expertise is needed to manage risk, respond to medical issues, and provide continuity of care away from traditional medical infrastructure.

  • We offer scalable coverage options, including:

    • General First Aid staffed by EMTs

    • Advanced Life Support staffed by paramedics

    • Multi-disciplinary teams that may include nurses or physicians
