First Aid Station
A First Aid Station is a dedicated facility within a theme park where trained medical personnel provide immediate medical care to guests and employees. These stations are essential parts of a park's safety infrastructure, serving as mini medical centers that handle everything from minor injuries like cuts and scrapes to more serious medical emergencies until emergency services arrive. They're similar to walk-in clinics but specifically designed for theme park environments. You might also see them referred to as "Park Medical Centers" or "Emergency Care Centers" in job descriptions.
