Vision/Goals

United States Emergency Medical Service strives to meet the changing needs of rural communities for pre-hospital and out of hospital care and believes that by the timely application of the advances of both the art and sciences of medicine to the practice of emergency medical services, we can decrease suffering, improve the health of the community and save lives.

Our Philosophy

Emergency medical services is a continuum of care and caring which encompasses both pre-hospital and out of hospital patient care. Pre-hospital care includes the support, instruction, care and treatment provided from the moment the request for emergency care is initiates until the patient's care is transferred to the receiving health care provider. Out of hospital care includes all other aspects of and treatment provided by emergency services personnel including patient transfers, response to and the treatment of citizens involved in mass casualty incidents and community emergencies, and the provision of medical support to our allied emergency services. Emergency medical service personnel are caring, skilled and intelligent health care professionals whose goal is to provide their patients with the best possible care. Emergency medical service personnel are worthy of trust and confidence and consistently strive to do what is appropriate for their patients. Emergency medical service personnel understand the complexities of their environment, exercise good judgment and utilize resources appropriately. Emergency medical services are frequently provided in an uncontrolled and at times hostile environment making the application of both the art and science of our profession more difficult. Emergency medical service personnel strive to overcome these challenges to ensure the best possible outcome for their patients.
