Why it matters
Population change in the Spring, Klein area by ZIP code 2024 2019
According to the American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, the entirety of the Spring and Klein communities saw between a 4%-20% increase in population from 2019-2024. HCESD 11 tries to strategically partner with agen- cies, such as the Spring Fire Department, to reduce the overall cost of putting new ambulance stations in the community. “It’s expensive to buy land and build stations ver- sus leasing from a partner,” HCESD 11 Chief Quality O cer Kevin Crocker said. “Luckily, we have great re department partners that are willing to let us lease space from them.” O cials with the Spring Fire Department said the partnership allows the agencies to better meet the rising needs of the community. “The community consistently bene ts whenever an additional EMS unit is strategically integrated into the system, because paramedics are able to respond quicker and deliver patient care without delay,” Logan said.
While HCESD 11 is not planning any additional stations as of press time, the district has implemented a new program that will provide whole blood transfusions for patients experiencing severe blood loss. “If you move that hospital treatment to the pre-hospital environment, obviously, your patient outcomes would be better, and more people [would] survive their traumatic injuries,” Crocker said. HCESD 11 o cially rolled out a new program March 25 that allows ambulances to begin carrying blood plasma to administer to patients experiencing heavy blood loss in emergencies. “There's a lot of regulations around blood administration, so once we solidify our ability to successfully give blood products, we know our system works, we'll probably move to a whole blood program,” Crocker said.
