We have an average yearly call volume of 1,700 calls and we are run as a business, with members volunteering literally thousands of hours serving the corporation in many different capacities. Patients’ insurance carriers are billed, but EMT’s riding nights are unpaid. Revenue goes toward operations, equipment, medical supplies and staff training.
