In addition to emergency medical care, Lancaster EMS also provides non-emergency medical transport services, EMT and Paramedic Education, public healthcare education programs, community paramedics, medical standby coverage at special events, and tactical paramedics to the Lancaster County Special Emergency Response Team. We are a member of the PA Strike Team responding to natural and manmade emergencies when requested. On every one of our calls, Lancaster EMS Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and Paramedics (EMT-P) are prepared to deliver high quality, life-sustaining treatment to our community of over 260,000 within our 9-1-1 response area. We answer more than 100 requests for service each day; 38,969 requests for service in 2020. Our EMS service is indispensable to the safety of our communities.
