Welcome.

This site has been specifically designed for ambulance service leaders and providers to keep them informed of important information on public health and other EMS issues, such as state policy and/or program changes

As we are aware, the need for information delivered during a public health emergency must be accurate and timely in order to be effective. Further, the need for consistent communications has been voiced by field providers from across the Commonwealth, and the PEHSC Board of Directors has decided that there is a need for a website dedicated to provide timely, complete, and easily found information.

This site will house important information such as DOH-BEMS Information Bulletins, reference materials and associated links to other websites. This website will also focus on any urgent system needs related to a public health emergency or other statewide hazard. We encourage you to bookmark this page as it will become a useful site for your daily operations and reference needs.

Emergency response personnel and other system stakeholders should regard the postings on this website as “official” information from State and/or Federal agencies.

 

This site has been developed under a contract with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, Bureau of Emergency Medical Services.
