Who We Are and What We Are About

 

GREMS LOGO

Gila River EMS (GREMS) is the oldest public safety organization in the Community and is a department of Gila River Health Care. In fact, in 2014 we celebrated our 40th year. We come from very humble beginnings, growing from one BLS ambulance to seven 24-hour ALS ambulances, two 12-hour ALS ambulances, two ALS Battalion Chief units, one Rehab unit, one Alternative Response Vehicle (ARV), and multiple Chief level units available to the Community every day. We run approximately 11,500 calls for service a year ranging from EMS and interfacility transports to fire, police, and Community standby’s. While we work very closely with our public safety partners (Fire, Police, Corrections, Dispatch, Emergency Management), we are by government MOU charged as the lead provider of Emergency Medical Services for the Community. We take this responsibility and duty very seriously, only hiring quality employees who are willing to serve the “Gila River Way” and provide the best patient care possible. Our EMTs and Paramedics are simply the best!
