About Us

Jessamine County EMS employs 45 personnel and utilizes a dynamic staffing model to staff five ambulances during the day and four ambulances at night, with an additional ambulance during peak hours. Our crews provide basic life support and advanced life support coverage and operate out of three stations throughout Jessamine County.

Jessamine County EMS operates under evidence-based protocols approved by the Medical Director. With several grants we have been able to outfit our ambulances with state-of-the-art equipment including Zoll cardiac monitors, Stryker power-load technology, Hamilton T1 ventilators, GlideScope Go video laryngoscopes, Sapphire IV pumps, and Lucas mechanical CPR devices. Personnel complete regular online and in-person training and have regular skill competencies to demonstrate proficiency.

One of the most recent developments at Jessamine County EMS was the transition from 24-hour shifts to 12-hour shifts. This change was made with the goal of maintaining a safer work environment for employees and providing better care to the residents and visitors of Jessamine County. Many other EMS agencies in the area have also looked to Jessamine County for guidance as they work to transition their agencies to 12-hour shifts.

Jessamine County EMS is moving to a more measurable future focusing on continuous quality improvement and patient-focused initiatives. We owe it to the citizens to provide innovative service while also reducing costs as much as possible. We will utilize incremental change to assure quality and affordable service to our community.

Our core values are the cornerstone of our service; everything we build is centered around these values. We strive to provide excellent services while practicing integrity and treating all patients with compassion and will continue to make this a priority in all future initiatives.
