Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provide critical care and transportation for individuals experiencing medical emergencies. These services are typically delivered by trained professionals, including paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs), who respond quickly to 911 calls and other urgent situations.
The primary goal of EMS is to stabilize patients and ensure they receive appropriate medical attention as quickly as possible. This may involve administering life-saving treatments, performing CPR, or transporting patients to hospitals for further care. EMS plays a vital role in the healthcare system, bridging the gap between the community and hospital care.
