We don't provide EMS... we make the emergency care you
receive better!
About CMEMSC
Central Massachusetts Emergency Medical Systems Corporation (CMEMSC) was
designated by the Department of Public Health as the Region II emergency medical
services council in 1977 in compliance with 105 CMR 170.102 & 170.103. As a
quasi-governmental agency and 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, our goal is to foster improvement to assure the
availability of competent EMS services throughout the region. CMEMSC provides
assistance and support to the Department of Public Health in a cooperative
effort to coordinate, maintain, and improve the EMS system throughout Central
Massachusetts. We offer EMS system planning information, and educational and
technical assistance to local jurisdictions and EMS system providers. CMEMSC also serves
as a resource to pre-hospital providers seeking clarification regarding
pre-hospital treatment protocols and guidance in following state EMS
regulations.
Our communication center, CMED (Coordinated Medical Emergency Direction)
provides a direct communication link between ambulances and emergency
departments at area hospitals. Through CMED, EMTs may communicate directly with
an emergency physician or nurse for optimal patient care. CMED is also a vital
component in the coordination of EMS response to Mass Casualty Incidents and
patient distribution to multiple hospitals.
CMEMSC is dedicated to promoting high standards of emergency care and to
ensuring the accessibility and quality of basic and advanced life support
services provided to the people of Central Massachusetts.
