The team at Baxter Health Emergency Medical Services has been around since 1975 and are still going strong with their advanced care management service! With 11 ambulances throughout the Baxter Health service area, we strive to always be available when the seconds matter most.
The Baxter Health EMS Service area includes both Baxter and Marion Counties, with our service area population exceeding 65,000 residents.

Baxter Health also provides extensive pre-hospital emergency medical service training to all staff members who are eager and prepared in their responsibilities as part of Baxter Health's commitment to providing compassionate care beyond measure when it comes down providing quality patient outcomes.

need medical care. When taking this into account, remember that it's always
best practice - no matter how routine your day may seem at first!
