We believe that all New Yorkers are entitled access to high quality EMS whether in rural, suburban or urban settings. We support efforts to improve the training and professional development of all EMS personnel and to upgrade the standards for dispatching services, ambulance staffing, and the level of medical care in order to optimally treat and stabilize the patients that are encountered in EMS systems.

New York ACEP believes that the direct involvement of the Department of Health and their requirement for qualified medical direction in all phases of out of hospital care are necessary to ensure the public of quality healthcare beginning with the EMS providers and continuing through transport to and treatment in the hospital Emergency Department.

This webpage was designed to offer visitors insight into the current activities of the New York ACEP EMS Committee as well as to serve as a source of information for EMS. If you have any suggestions regarding information you would like to see in this section, notify us by E-mail.
