The Saratoga County EMS Council is a dynamic, non-profit organization that speaks
as one collective voice for Emergency Medical Service Providers in Saratoga County,
New York. Since 1979, the EMS Council has fostered a progressive EMS system. Through training programs, coordination of services, recognition of accomplishments, and
continued development of new and better services, the Council protects and preserves
the health of Saratoga County residents and visitors. Council membership consists of three
dozen active members representing EMS providers, Civil Defense, Public Safety, Public
Health, Fire, Police, Hospitals, Physicians, Emergency Nurses, general public and
consumers. Auxiliary members are appointed to represent industry, business, health
departments, government and other bodies not represented in the active membership. Council
activities include sponsorship of EMT, Certified First Responder (CFR), defibrillation,

EMS
personnel. Mass Casualty Incident planning and drills, recognition of EMS volunteers
and
departments, development and maintenance of EMT and Paramedic radio communications
systems,
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), and overall coordination of EMS is handled by the
Council. The Council works closely with the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors, and
is funded through private donations, and State and County tax dollars. Administrative assistance
is provided by the Saratoga County Office of Emergency Services,
and local EMS, Fire and Law Enforcement agencies. The local business community lends
technical expertise to the Council. The Saratoga County EMS Council is recognized as a not
