Ambulance service or Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is a vital public service. The Hampden Township EMS organization provides emergency medical coverage to the residents and visitors of the township and neighboring communities 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. In 2007, we answered over 2500 calls for help.
The
staff includes a variety of specially trained EMS professionals, who
engage in many hours of education in order to properly manage all types
of emergency medical and trauma-related situations. The EMS Department
is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and therefore has
met the strict guidelines necessary for operation within the
Commonwealth.
The operational expenses of the EMS Department are partially funded by
Hampden Township. However, the EMS Department receives additional
funding from donations, annual family/individual subscriptions and fees
for services.
The Hampden Township EMS Department depends on your annual
subscriptions to provide a consistently high standard of
around-the-clock emergency medical services with the latest equipment.
With your support, we can continue to improve service to all of the
residents and visitors of the township.
