High Quality, Dependable Emergency Medical Services

Our mission is to provide high-quality, dependable emergency medical service throughout Putnam County.

Presently our agency offers fully staffed advanced life support (ALS), blanketing the region to allow for an immediate response to your critical call for help. The State Health Department thoroughly inspects each emergency unit on an annual basis. Furthermore, our unit offers the most advanced technology available.

Who We Are

Most residents are very familiar with the gleaming gold & white vehicle that can be seen throughout Putnam County. Licensed by the state of West Virginia, the Advanced Life Support Units (ALS) are fully equipped to provide the highest standard of pre-hospital emergency care.

All on board are highly trained Paramedics and EMTs. These individuals undergo vigorous training and continuing education to be able to offer Putnam County citizens the possible services.

Dial 911 for Emergencies

If you are unable to call or fear that doing so may result in harm to yourself or others, you can send a text to “911”. However, a voice call is preferable if you are able to do so safely.
