Emergency Medical Services
Boston Emergency Medical Services (Boston EMS) is one of the nation's oldest providers of pre-hospital care. We trace our roots back more than 100 years, when the Department was known as the City Hospital Ambulance Service. Today, Boston EMS is regarded as one of the strongest emergency medical services in the country. As a leader in the field of pre-hospital emergency medicine, Boston EMS brings cutting edge medical care to the streets of Boston 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Paramedics are trained to deliver complex medical interventions in the field. They respond to over 100,000 calls for help every year and treat the critically ill and injured with grace, dignity and compassion. As a bureau of the Boston Public Health Commission, Boston EMS bridges the gap between public health and public safety. The Department plays an important role in the City’s emergency preparedness efforts and provides enriching programming designed to educate the community about important public health issues.
