What to Expect

EMS staff are trained and skilled providers of pre-hospital emergency medicine. On arrival they will assess your current condition, vital signs, obtain past medical history. Any illness or injury will be treated in accordance with standing protocols under the guidance of our EMS Medical Director and IDPH Region 6. Staff will then transport you to the closest appropriate facility based upon your condition.

Emergency Situations

Have your allergy and medication list up to date or know where they are so this information can be available to the ambulance staff.

Have your 911 or house number clearly posted so they may be seen from the street or road.

If you call after dark, turn on an outside light.
