Union County EMS

Our History

Union County EMS was founded under the Union Hospital District in 1986, replacing the former Gregory & Johnson Ambulance Service. After many years as a private service, the system began its operation as a county service with one full-time ambulance. It was operated by Wallace Thomson Hospital until 2015 when Union County assumed its operation.
