AAREMS Mission

Our mission is to enhance the delivery of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) through the effective coordination of personnel, facilities, and equipment across our six-county region. We are committed to assessing community needs for EMS, supporting the establishment of new agencies as necessary, and fostering high-quality education. Through collaboration with our County EMS Councils, we promote the training for all levels of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and other essential EMS-related programs to ensure well-prepared and responsive EMS.
