What is EMS?



*Information from the NHTSA/EMS

They work 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. They are the face of the ambulance, the face of the emergency room, they provide emergency medical care in sometimes less than perfect circumstances.  They are the men and women that staff EMS departments around the country.  This week we honor those people during National EMS Week.

What is EMS?

Emergency Medical Services, more commonly known as EMS, is a system that provides emergency medical care. Once it is activated by an incident that causes serious illness or injury, the focus of EMS is emergency medical care of the patient. EMS is mostly recognized when emergency vehicles are seen responding to accidents, but EMS is much more than a ride to the hospital. It is a system of coordinated response and emergency medical care, involving multiple agencies and people. EMS is ready every day for every emergency.

Thank you MMHD EMS staff for your continued dedication to our community.
