Vision: A premier emergency medical services system that integrates all levels of EMS resources to deliver quality patient care.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is the pre-hospital treatment and transportation of the sick and injured. In Livingston County, EMS is provided by integrating 13 transporting ambulance services, 2 fire department first responder agencies, volunteer and proprietary Advanced Life Support (ALS) and the SUNY-Geneseo Emergency Squad on the college campus.
The Center for EMS coordinates many levels of EMS education and training, through an agreement with the New York State Department of Health and through coordination with the American Red Cross and American Heart Association.
Center for EMS coordinates efforts to enhance and improve the recruitment of EMS volunteers in concert with the individual EMS agency recruitment programs.
Center for EMS works closely with the Livingston County 911 Center Coordinator and the Livingston County Emergency Management Director to effectively and efficiently provide an integrated EMS system encompassing law enforcement, dispatch and fire services.
Center for EMS plays an integral role in the on-going development and improvement of the educational and delivery of services aspects of EMS through coordination with the Monroe-Livingston Regional EMS Council.
