Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is a specially organized system that provides personnel, facilities and equipment for the effective and coordinated delivery of emergency medical services in Mississippi.
An effective EMS system involves many different agencies and organizations working together seamlessly to provide rapid emergency medical care to patients and to ensure that the right patient gets to the right hospital at the right time.
The Office of Emergency Medical Services and Acute Care Systems (OEMSACS) organizes, regulates and maintains a statewide program to improve emergency medical care.
