Emergency Medical Services is one of the youngest professions with ties to emergency medicine. Getting our start in the mid to late 1970s, depending on where in the United States you check around that time. Through our early years, EMS has made some very significant changes in the way that we care for patients, as well as the equipment we use in doing that. Here at Jackson County, we are proud to say that we are making those changes and we are staying with and sometimes ahead of the latest and greatest with regard to EMS.
