EMS: Saving Lives, Improving Care

Because lives are potentially on the line whenever Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are called upon, ensuring we’re providing every patient with the right care, at the right time, by the right provider remains a vital, ongoing goal for Alberta Health Services (AHS).

As we strive to improve overall system performance, we have implemented a co-ordinated series of initiatives across the province to improve patient care.

This webpage provides updates on what Albertans can expect as we improve our ambulance services. You will find links to data on the right, updated monthly. In the months ahead, we’ll add more information and data, including call volumes and response times for additional communities.

Of course, a complete picture of EMS performance needs to include other factors, such as quality of patient care provided by paramedics and emergency medical technicians, and these web pages will share stories that help put EMS initiatives into a larger context.
