E-Unit / Emergency Medical Services

Our Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program responds to over a thousand requests for service each year.  We provide EMT level first response care and are supported by two, private ambulance services that provide paramedic level care and transport to the hospital.

We have three units licensed by the state to respond to medical emergencies.  All three are equipped with automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) and other state of the art equipment.  At least one of these units is staffed 24/7/365, usually by one of our full time staff.  Sixteen of our paid on call personnel also hold EMS licenses and are active in providing emergency medical services.

Our department is also recognized by the state as an approved training site for EMS personnel.  All of our EMS licensed personnel maintain additional certifications that exceed the minimum requirements and dedicate several hours each year to continuing education.

For additional information about our EMS program, please contact Chief May.
