Each REMSA ambulance is staffed with either a Paramedic or EMS-RN and an EMT-Intermediate, and is equipped with the most advanced, life support equipment available. Paramedic ambulances provide national caliber service under the strictest criteria.

  • Paramedic units must respond within eight minutes, at least 90 percent of the time to life threatening emergencies. REMSA consistently surpasses these goals.
  • Paramedics have extensive training and certification in areas including Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, Neonatal Resuscitation and Trauma Life Support.
  • REMSA's paramedic units provide service to all in need. It does so on a self-supporting basis through user fees only. There are no taxpayer or government subsidies.
