Gadsden County EMS had the pleasure of meeting with the members of Chattahoochee Fire Department to provide a hands-on tour of our ambulances and demonstrate how to operate and locate essential equipment.

We thank you for your hard work and dedication to helping make Gadsden County a safer place for everyone. Partnerships like this help strengthen our response and ensure we’re all prepared when our community needs us most.

If your department or agency would like to schedule training with our team, please feel free to contact us. We’re always happy to work together to improve preparedness and service to our community.

In January, Gadsden County EMS responded to 697 emergency calls, averaging 22 calls per day, and transported 501 patients to area hospitals for continued care.

These figures reflect a sustained and reliable demand for emergency medical services throughout the county. Our personnel continue to meet this need while operating with ongoing staffing shortages that limit the number of available units and place additional strain on existing personnel.

Continued investment in recruitment, retention, and operational support will be critical going forward. Gadsden County EMS remains committed to serving the community with professionalism and readiness, and we appreciate the continued support as we work toward long term stability for our EMS system.

When Gadsden County calls, we answer.

In 2025, Gadsden County EMS responded to 8,954 total calls, averaging 24 calls per day across our community. Of those calls, 6,291 resulted in patient transports to definitive care.

Behind every number is a citizen in need and a crew answering the call—24 hours a day, 365 days a year. These calls are managed with limited staffing and resources, requiring our paramedics and EMTs to continually adapt while maintaining high standards of care.

This is more than statistics; it’s our mission in action. We are proud of our EMS professionals who continue to serve Gadsden County with dedication, professionalism, and resilience—no matter the challenge.

Gadsden County EMS had the honor of participating in a Pre-K Community Helpers’ Day at the West Gadsden Middle School campus. We joined the Fire Department and the Sheriff’s Office to give students a hands-on look at how first responders serve our community.

Throughout the morning, we met with Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students in rotating groups. Each class spent time learning about what EMS does, the equipment we use, how to stay safe, and how they can get help when they need it. After a quick talk, the students got to explore our EMS truck and ambulance up close—always a crowd favorite!

Our crew enjoyed every moment of teaching, answering questions, and sharing smiles with the kids. Events like this help build trust, inspire young minds, and strengthen our connection with the community we proudly serve.

Thank you for inviting us, and to all the teachers and staff who helped organize such a meaningful event. We’re always grateful for opportunities to support our schools and invest in the next generation of helpers and heroes. ❤️ Gadsden County Board of County Commissioners

Today Gadsden EMS taught our dispatchers CPR

Gadsden County, Fl- Today, telecommunication officers from the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office took part in a specialized Telecommunicator CPR training course. The training was conducted by the Gadsden EMS team and concentrated on teaching effective communication techniques for guiding callers through the administration of CPR. This special training is very valuable for dispatchers and helps to prepare them on how to respond to emergency situations. So, when you make that crucial 911 call, our dispatchers will offer support until the arrival of first responders.
