EMS Region 2

Regional Emergency Medical Services

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are so much more than the first responders we know and trust. The state of Illinois specifically designed a division of the government, the Division of Emergency Medical Systems and Highway Safety, to improve EMS success throughout the state.

According to the Illinois Health and Hospital Association, an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) System is “an organization of hospitals, vehicle service providers and personnel approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) in a specific geographic area, which coordinates and provides pre-hospital and inter-hospital emergency care and non-emergency medical transports at a BLS, Intermediate Life Support (ILS) and/or ALS level pursuant to a System program plan submitted to and approved by IDPH, and pursuant to the EMS Regional Plan adopted for the EMS Region in which the system is located.” Carle Health is one of several agencies in central Illinois which provides coordination, education and cooperation with other emergency management agencies.
