More Than an Ambulance Service

Our EMS team does much more than transport patients. They bring emergency medical care directly to patients when and where it is needed.

BMHD continually invests in our EMS program, including our ambulances, lifesaving medical equipment, technology, and staff training. These investments help ensure our EMS professionals have the resources they need to provide safe, efficient and high-quality emergency care.

Operating our own EMS service also allows us to provide greater continuity of care. From the moment our EMS team arrives through the patient's arrival at the Emergency Department, we work together as one healthcare system with one goal—providing the best possible care for our patients.

When you see a Ballinger Memorial Hospital District ambulance, you are seeing another important part of the complete healthcare system working every day to keep quality care close to home.

In an emergency, always call 911.
