Emergency Health Services Federation

Emergency Health Services Federation “We are commitment driven to enhance quality EMS in southcentral PA.” We are the Regional EMS Council for the eight counties of Southcentral Pennsylvania.

Our mission is to develop, maintain, and improve the EMS system for Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, and York Counties. Although we have been a designated Regional EMS Council since the inception of the initial EMS Act, we were an EMS-centric organization for over 30 years. You might know us as the folks you call with questions about your continuing education credits or the next step in the EMSOF process. We are the individuals who come to your station to inspect your organization as part of PA EMS Licensure. We are also the faces you see when you are taking your practical examination. But did you know that we were the group who lead the way with the Statewide Recruitment Initiative, or the BLS CPAP program? Or the work that we do to improve our region's preparedness and that we've coordinated two deployments of resources from our region for Katrina, then Gustav. Our region is made up of some new faces, and some very seasoned personnel. Our office is no different. We have some individuals you've dealt with for decades and we have great new staff also. We don't talk much about our organization, as we have created a culture of putting you first. Our region has been impacted by several line of duty deaths, the Nickel Mines School shooting, and TMI. However, it never ceases to amaze everyone that the providers and our staff working together seem to always handle the events professionally with an overflow of compassion. We stick together when it matters. As we live in this area, we have a personal stake in meeting our mission statement.

“We are commitment driven to enhance quality EMS in Southcentral PA.”

As we purposely try to function as a lean organization with less than 10 fulltime staff, we rely heavily on the dozens of volunteers serving on our many committees. And we are always looking for more volunteers. We are not content staying the course. We want to be known as the best EMS System in the country.

We wish you a safe, healthy, and happy New Year!

Today the EHSF was honored to participate in a ceremony to provide clinical save commendations to EMTs from Fort Indiantown Gap Fire and Emergency Services and a state trooper from Pennsylvania State Police. A live was saved because of their quick response and dedication to serve the community. We appreciate the support from Fort Indiantown Gap to not only serve their post but the surrounding community as well.

Those with June 30, 2028 expiration dates do not need to take any action. There was an update made to the PA EMS Registry this morning, which created a little glitch. The system sent e-mails to providers with an expiration of June 30, 2028 saying they will expire and need to reregister. The Bureau of EMS is working with IT.

We wish you a very Merry Christmas!

The certification card printers were fixed, and over the past two weeks our staff focused on printing around 1,000 certification cards. Today the last 300 were placed in the mailbox. Every provider waiting on their certification materials should anticipate seeing it in their mailbox soon!

We still have over 1,100 providers with a 12/31/2025 expiration date. Don’t forget to complete the reregistration as the process is not automatic.

We wish all of our EMS providers and partners a Happy Thanksgiving! We are especially grateful to those who are serving ...

As we have received interest in our response to the Auditor General press release we wanted to provide a brief clarification. We provide approximately 140 pages of supporting documentation each month. We also provide each purchases, invoice amount, vendor name and date. We have done this for years.

We will continue to focus on the EMS system and continue to develop opportunities for new enhancements to the system. We are proud of our EMS Agencies for having the same mindset, as demonstrated by the fact that we have six active pilot programs occurring currently. As you may know we have a history of our pilot programs turning into the national standard.

Please be safe.
