Jackson County EMS Information

JCEMS is the primary emergency medical provider in our area. JCEMS also transports patients from surrounding counties, such as Nemaha, Brown, and Pottawatomie. JCEMS transports to and/or from Holton Hospital, Onaga Hospital, Stormont Vail of Topeka, St. Francis of Topeka, Heartland Health of St. Joe, KU Medical Center of Kansas City, Children's Mercy of Kansas City, and many other fine care facilities in northeast Kansas and surrounding areas. JCEMS has two ambulances staffed 24 hours a day; 7 days a week with many employees available for additional ambulances at any given time. JCEMS provides advanced life support and emergent/non-emergent transport for the sick and injured. Many JCEMS employees first respond to medical and traumatic calls whether on duty or not. Resources of any one EMS system can be overwhelmed. Mutual aid with neighboring services ensures help is available when needed; whether here or there. JCEMS frequently calls upon LifeStar, which provides ambulatory services in the air. EMS responds to every structure fire to "stand-by" and to promote firefighter hydration and overall health, free of charge. EMS also provides classes to the public, is involved in community organizations and boards, is involved in community relations such as parades & community functions, and is also very active in our youth. The morale at JCEMS is incredible. Our facility is impeccable & excellence is the only acceptable quality of service. Jackson County EMS employs Deb Smith, MD, NREMT-P, as their medical director.
