Our Facility In April 2017, Southern Tier Health Care System began renovating their new training space at 150 North Union Street, Olean, NY, in the building that many remember as the "Old Sears Building." This project was ten years in the making, and STHCS staff moved into our new home in late November 2017. This new space includes 4 training rooms, an EMS training space, and offices available for lease for not-for-profits. The new building also features a state-of-the-art distance learning training center that allows for training to be broadcast to many satellite sites to access quality education. Office space is available for lease, and 4 training rooms can be reserved for meetings that can accommodate up to 40 people. If you are interested in our space, please contact us.

Paramedic Program The application period for the 2025-26 Regional Paramedic Program is closed. The next Paramedic Program will likely begin in January 2027. Getting rural EMS providers the training they need to enhance their skills and level of care has always been difficult. Faced with a looming crisis, Southern Tier Health Care System, a rural health care network funded by the New York State Charles B. Cook Office of Rural Health, convened a group of regional EMS medical directors, EMS educators and the leaders of regional EMS agencies to find a solution in January of 2013. Working as a liaison with the New York Bureau of EMS, Southern Tier Health Care System secured permission to design a program that meets the needs of our rural area. Southern Tier Health Care System surveyed other programs that use distance-learning technology to train EMS providers to create a best-practices paramedic training program. The result was a plan to create a Regional Paramedic Program that used distance learning technology to allow this advance training in a rural community. The Regional Paramedic Program was launched the first week of January 2014, less than a year after Southern Tier Health Care System hosted the planning meeting. This program would not have been possible unless everyone was willing to work together. The cooperation speaks volumes about how a rural community can work together and make the impossible, possible. The Regional Paramedic Program represents the Power of Rural message that National Rural Health Day was created to celebrate. The UPMC Chautauqua @ WCA Paramedic program has been issued a Letter of Review by the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP). This letter is NOT a CAAHEP accreditation status, it is a status signifying that a program seeking initial accreditation has demonstrated sufficient compliance with the accreditation standards through the Letter of Review Self Study Report (LSSR) and other documentation. Letter of Review is recognized by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) for eligibility to take the NREMT's Paramedic credentialing examination(s). However, it is NOT a guarantee of eventual accreditation. To contact CoAEMSP: 214-703-8445/www.coaemsp.org. NREMT Test Results No graduates during the 2023 reporting year BEMS Forms & Portal

Telehealth STHCS, in collaboration with CASA-Trinity, Allegany Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (ACASA), Clarity Wellness Community, Seneca Health, and Cattaraugus County Department of Community Services, is strengthening access to healthcare services in Cattaraugus and Allegany counties in New York. This initiative, initially focused on substance use disorder and related behavioral health services, has since expanded to capture all types of healthcare such as, primary care and specialty visits. The coalition has assessed the broadband accessibility issues in Western New York and established 6 locations within the two counties, called telehealth rooms. The telehealth rooms are optimal for telehealth sessions: lighting, camera quality, and the device screen are top-notch. No waiting in a waiting room and services can be contactless. Ready to book a room? Before reserving a telehealth room, make sure you've already set up an appointment with the provider you want to see. A telehealth room is not a walk-in clinic. Please work with your doctor/provider to schedule telehealth appointments and service in advance. If you need a telehealth appointment, click HERE to view some local options.

Stop the Bleed Interested in a Course? Contact Us! Today we live in a world where terrorism, the actions of unstable people, and the dangerous impulses of friends and relatives are very real and becoming increasingly more frequent. Massive bleeding from any cause, but particularly from an active shooter or explosive event where a response is delayed can result in death. Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR, the public must learn proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings, and tourniquets. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding, within five to 10 minutes. However, anyone at the scene can act as immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do. BleedingControl.org supports President Barack Obama’s policy directive for national preparedness (Presidential Policy Directive 8 ), which targets preparedness as a shared responsibility of the government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and individual citizens. Bleeding Control is an initiative of the American College of Surgeons and the Hartford Consensus and contains diagrams, news, videos, and other resources contributed by a variety of other private and nonprofit partners to help prepare you in the event you are witness to one of these unspeakable events. Our shared goal is to provide you with a one-stop, online resource to credible information on bleeding control. We hope you will never need to use this information, but if you do, at least you will have the assurance that the information is credible and timely. Southern Tier Health Care System, Inc. is working to provide Stop the Bleed training to Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties. If you are interested in scheduling a training, please contact us.

File of Life The File of Life is a magnetized pouch containing a person’s medical information that is placed on the refrigerator in case of emergency. In rural areas, the information – obtained immediately by first responders who know right where to find it – can mean the difference between life and death. Hospital emergency departments report that the File of Life significantly speeds the triage process, especially for elderly and disoriented patients. If you or someone you know would like a File of Life please contact us

Safe Kids Safe Kids Southern Tier New York is led by Southern Tier Health Care System, Inc., which provides dedicated and caring staff, operation support and other resources to assist in achieving our common goal: keeping your kids safe. Based on the needs of the community, this coalition implements evidence-based programs, such as car-seat safety, safe sleep education, and water safety, that help parents and caregivers prevent childhood injuries. About In April 2019, the Safe Kids Southern Tier New York Coalition was formed as a re-imagining of the former Southern Tier Child Health and Safety Team (CHST). For years, CHST investigated the causes of preventable child deaths and developed proactive strategies to eliminate risks. This multidisciplinary team began in Allegany County and later expanded to Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties. The team comprised professionals from multiple disciplines including public health, social services, health care, law enforcement, child welfare and behavioral health. Today, as a Safe Kids Worldwide Coalition we are able to be more broadly inclusive of the many other community professionals, services and individuals who are instrumental in the healthy and productive upbringing of children. Parents/caregivers, educators, counselors, educators and even faith leaders deserve a seat at the table.
