Delta Ambulance Completes 10th Trek Across Maine

Delta Ambulance is proud to have completed its 10th year as a primary sponsor of the Trek Across Maine as the provider of the Medical Team.

This year nearly 1900 Trekkers and 600 volunteers descended on Sunday River for the 3-day Trek ending in Belfast. Annually, Delta assembles a team of 18 to help assure the well being of the Trek troupe as it travels east on a fund raiser celebration. Eight cycling medics and four advanced life support vans are equipped to respond to and support medical and traumatic emergencies as well as many of the minor discomforts such an effort may present to Trekkers during their 165 mile Trek. Delta coordinates all response with a Medical Communications van along the Trek route.

Delta thanks and congratulates its Team for another 'Job well done' caring for the Trek Across Maine. We also thank our supporters: Hussey Communications, Darling's Auto Mall, US Cellular and Auto Trim Design of Maine.

Delta's effort is large, but it is only a piece of the huge effort made each year by thousands for the American Lung Association of Maine. "We are proud to be a part of the Trek and hope to continue for many years to come" said Bill McKenna, Delta's Director of Community Relations.

Delta Ambulance is a not-for-profit paramedic ambulance service serving communities in central Maine from bases in Augusta and Waterville and can be visited online at DeltaAmbulance.org
