Welcome to our Web Site - Recognize the Blue and White Symbol?

It’s the Star of Life, the symbol of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). In the center is the Staff of Asclepius, the mythological Greek god of medicine. The "points" of the Star (beginning at twelve o’clock) represent the functions of EMS – Detection, Reporting, Response, On-Scene Care, Care in Transit, and Transfer to Definitive Care. The rest of the AAREMS logo depicts the boundaries and names of the counties we serve in New York State.

The new 2011 Collaborative (AAREMS, Mountain Lakes Region and REMO) Protocols are now available for viewing and/or downloading, on the "Regional ALS Protocols" page. The Paramedic, Critical Care and Intermediate level credentialing exams are now all available online on the "Regional ALS Protocols" page. A training video is also available on that page.

All Basic Life Support First Responder (BLSFR) agencies are reminded (as of August 16, 2011) of the Department of Health requirement to complete BLSFR Agency Update forms and return them to DOH no later than December 31, 2011, in order to keep their State-issued agency code active. The required paperwork and full information is available for downloading on our "Forms and Applications" page.

We invite all agencies based in our Region to send us photos of agency vehicles and/or agency activities for inclusion in our slide show (above). It is our policy, however, to withhold from publication any photo which would violate patient confidentiality. All rescue activities currently depicted are training exercises.

We look forward to hearing from you!
