EMS Volunteers
Volunteering Overview
Our volunteer Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agency is made up of dedicated members of the community who provide professional out-of-hospital emergency care. These men and women come from all walks of life to give their time and talents in a team effort to help their community in a truly life-saving mission. We do more than treat and transport the ill and injured, we also promote health & safety throughout the community, while retaining various certification levels through continuing education and training.
