About Emergency Services
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.
We Are Hiring
We are hiring EMTs and Paramedics. Part-Time and Full Time available.
If you meet the qualifications for any of these positions, please contact us.
🚑 Education in action!
Several members of Putnam County EMS recently attended the 19th Annual Southeastern Student Wilderness Medicine Conference at the New River Gorge, hosted by WVU Medicine.
Throughout the weekend, our team gained hands-on experience in:
• Confined space and rope rescue
• Environmental emergencies, including hypothermia
• Suturing and patient packaging
• Working alongside HealthNet Aeromedical Services
Opportunities like this ensure our providers stay prepared to deliver the highest level of care no matter the environment.
