If you live within the EMSA service area, you can take comfort in knowing that a diverse team of dedicated healthcare providers stands ready to respond to your emergency medical needs.

EMSA paramedics perform a full range of advanced cardiac life support procedures, including trauma stabilization, respiratory intubation and more. We don't just transport patients to hospitals; we perform a number of advanced medical interventions to treat critically ill and injured patients. EMSA ambulances are often called "emergency rooms on wheels," since many procedures carried out in hospital ERs are conducted inside the ambulances by EMSA paramedics.

Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) help paramedics by performing basic life support measures and operating the ambulances. EMSA ambulances are staffed by at least one paramedic and one EMT.

EMSA's dispatch team answer patients' calls for help, provide pre-arrival instructions (including coaching callers through CPR and emergency childbirth procedures over the phone) and direct ambulances in the field. All dispatch personnel maintain EMT or paramedic licensure.

EMSA conducts comprehensive quality improvement and continuing education processes to ensure the use of best practices and to seek new clinical opportunities. All medics working within the EMSA system receive a minimum of 100 hours of continuing education every two years. This exceeds the Oklahoma State Department of Health minimum standard of 72 hours biannually. Furthermore, all personnel with clinical privileges must successfully pass the Office of the Medical Director protocol exam every two years and renew their national registry licensure.
