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 โ911โ. 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.

๐ Autism Awareness Day ๐
Today, weโre proud to recognize Autism Awareness Day and take a step forward in supporting all members of our community.
We were honored to welcome autism educator and WVU professor, Steve Slack, who generously donated sensory-friendly bags to Putnam EMS. These bags will be placed on our ambulances to help calm and comfort individuals with disabilities during emergency situations.
Each bag is thoughtfully designed with age-appropriate items for children through teens, helping make what can be a scary moment feel a little more safe and supported.
We are grateful to Steve for his kindness and commitment to making a difference in our community.
Together, we can continue to build a more understanding and compassionate place for everyone. ๐ ... See MoreSee Less
