The county emergency medical
system, built through the cooperation of physicians, nurses, emergency
medical technicians, community volunteers and elected officials
has become a model for the nation.

for the county's emergency response system.
The EMS department approves
the training of over 3,000 certified emergency medical personnel,
including basics, intermediates, paramedics and prehospital nurses.
EMS oversees certification
and licensure testing for all levels of EMS personnel and permits
all EMS agencies within the county.
