When people think of an ambulance service, they usually think of the standard “911 emergency response”. Calls to 911 account for approximately 80% of our ambulance requests. We provide these emergency responses to all of Washington County, and to our neighbors when their call volume surges. Each emergency ambulance is staffed with a minimum of 1 EMT and 1 Paramedic or RN. Most of our Paramedics and Nurses at WCAD are also designated as a Critical Care Transport Provider.

When every second counts, Washington County Ambulance District clinicians bring ICU quality care wherever it is needed. |
