Lapeer County EMS

We are a community service for the citizens of Lapeer County. In an emergency, dial 9-1-1

Lapeer County Emergency Medical Services (LCEMS) was created in 1997 through the merging of three local ambulance agencies, Lapeer Area Ambulance Service, North Branch Area Ambulance Service, and the Imlay City Department of Public Safety. These agencies have served the area as early as 1969. The service is now governed by a seven member Board of Directors with representatives appointed by the fifteen municipalities within Lapeer County.

Lapeer County EMS provides emergency and non-emergency ambulance transport and is a member of the Mobile Health Resource, LLC, a network of ambulance companies created to provide medically-related transportation services on a regional and statewide basis for healthcare plans, health systems and other large purchasers in Michigan.

Lapeer County EMS also offers education services for any community members, group or organization interested in CPR, First Aid or use of the Automated External Defibrillators (AED), as well as to those individuals wishing to make EMS a career. Many of our current employees have started or advanced their training with our education services.

Lapeer County EMS employees are trained at all levels of licensure and hold State of Michigan licenses at the Medical First Responder, Emergency Medical Technician-Basic, Emergency Medical Technician-Specialist, and Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic. We also have on staff several State of Michigan licensed Instructor Coordinators. All EMS personnel are CPR certified in the American Heart Association CPR for the Healthcare Provider course and are updated on a yearly basis. In addition, all Paramedics are certified in the American Heart Association Cardiac Life Support Provider (ACLS) course.
