Welcome to Jefferson County

Emergency Medical Services District

 

For over 30 years, Jefferson County Emergency Medical Services District (JCEMSD) has been the exclusive provider of 24-hour emergency medical services across 1,500 square miles in Jefferson County, Oregon. JCEMSD provides advanced life support services to approximately 23,000 residents and responded to more than 2300 calls last year with a fleet of 4 ambulances. Crews fight for life in the harshest of conditions including remote locations, rural terrain, unpaved roads and weather conditions that can quickly turn sour. Our staff includes EMT's, A-EMT's and Paramedics who stand ready to help in the event of a medical crisis.

Our commitment to individual dignity and quality is the foundation of our success.
