Chief Fields introduces the Adam Response Units pilot program, a new initiative designed to provide faster initial care in high-need areas while waiting for transport ambulances to arrive.

Adam Response Units are BLS (Basic Life Support) non-transport units
Units are strategically positioned in busy areas based on data analysis
They can reach patients and initiate care quickly while waiting for a transport ambulance
Pilot shows positive results in two test locations: Randall's Island and near JFK Airport
This approach allows patients to begin receiving care even before a transport ambulance arrives
