Press Release
Santa is coming to town with lights and sirens, elves and presents galore, to visit the sweet children who were treated/transported by Dorchester County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in 2018.
Throughout the year Dorchester County EMS has transported several critically injured/sick pediatric patients. The “Santa in an Ambulance” program (now in its seventh year) gives Dorchester County's unsung heroes who work in Emergency Services the opportunity to check in on their sweetest patients while providing holiday cheer alongside the big guy himself, Santa!
The “Santa in an Ambulance” program is funded 100% by monetary and toy donations. All monetary donations are used by Santa's EMS Elves to purchase and wrap gifts for each of the patients and their siblings. New, unwrapped toys can also be donated.
Monetary donations can be made via a check made payable to Dorchester County EMS (please include Santa in an Ambulance on the memo line) and mailed to:
Santa in an Ambulance
C/O Dorchester County EMS
