Alberta Health Services (AHS) Emergency Medical Services (EMS) brings care to people and people to care.
Every year, more than 5,600 EMS professionals support nearly a half a million emergency and transfer calls, both on the ground and in the air.
From the emergency communications officers (ECOs) who answer the phone when you call for an ambulance, to the front line paramedics who respond to help, AHS EMS works together to make sure Albertans get the right care, in the place, at the right time.
We are working to improve EMS response times and ensure Albertans needing emergency care, get that care. (more…)
The 2023/24 EMS Operating Plan sets organizational expectations and direction for EMS. By helping EMS be more structured and intentional in what we do and how we do it, it will also form the basis of what we report on and are held accountable to, ultimately strengthening our organization so we are better able to care for our patients and our people.
Informed by reports and Service Plan inputs, the plan is designed to operationalize projects through 12 months of priorities that are sequenced and prioritized for greatest impacts on improving response times.
Alberta Health Services (AHS) Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is constantly working to improve the high quality care Albertans receive every day.
