Description

With a rich history dating back to 1933, VMSC has a long-standing tradition of serving the North Penn and Indian Valley communities. From our humble beginnings, we have grown into a leading regional EMS provider, along with Search & Rescue K9 and Aerial Drone Divisions. Today, we proudly serve 11 municipalities across three counties, responding to over 18,000 calls annually.

VMSC is not just about tradition; we are at the forefront of EMS technology. We embrace innovation to enhance our services and improve patient outcomes. By utilizing AI-powered software, we predict call volumes and strategically position ambulances, ensuring the fastest possible response times. Our paramedics are equipped with cutting-edge technology, allowing them to send live-streamed patient data to medical directors for real-time consultations, making informed decisions even before arriving at the hospital.

Our commitment to the community remains at the heart of everything we do. We actively participate in community events, both for emergency response and educational Show-and-Tell opportunities, fostering a strong connection with the people we serve.

Looking ahead, VMSC is committed to continuous improvement and innovation in emergency medical services. We are constantly exploring new technologies, service models, and partnerships to enhance our care and better serve our community. We are dedicated to remaining your trusted partner, providing exceptional care and support for generations to come.
