Our History

Union County EMS was founded under the Union Hospital District in 1986, replacing the former Gregory & Johnson Ambulance Service. After many years as a private service, the system began it's operation as a county service with one full time ambulance. 

Our Services today

Today, UCEMS continues to operate as a third service  ALS 911 system. Answering 5000 calls for service each year, the service operates three emergent ALS ambulances, one heavy rescue truck, and one non-urgent transport unit. Operating 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, EMT's and Paramedics respond to calls received through the Union County E-911 system. Routine transports to physician offices, and area nursing homes are also provided by the non-urgent division. The service is based on current professional standards of care, recognizing modern American Heart Association treatment science and progressive protocols. We utilize late model ambulance chassis, hydraulic power stretchers, electronic patient care records, and other forms of technology for a safe and pleasant experience.
