BEAUFORT COUNTY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
Beaufort County EMS is committed to delivering high-quality emergency care to anyone in need within the county, whether a resident or visitor. We operate ambulances that transport patients to key hospitals such as Beaufort Memorial, Coastal Carolina, and Hilton Head.
Staffed by certified EMTs, A-EMTs, and Paramedics holding National Registry credentials, our personnel are trained to manage critical emergencies such as trauma, cardiac abnormalities, breathing problems, allergic reactions, seizures, and drug overdoses. We provide comprehensive care tailored for patients of all ages — children through older adults.
ANCILLARY MISSION
Beaufort County EMS also performs several ancillary missions, which include:
-
Tactical medical support as imbedded members of the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office Special Weapons and Tactics Team
-
Direct support to local disaster recovery and catastrophic events as members of the Low Country Regional Medical Assistance Team (RMAT).
Our ambulances also employ state-of-the-art medical equipment on which our staff receives frequent training in our aggressive in-house monthly training sessions which are mandatory. This equipment includes the Physio Control Lifepak 15, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), the LUCAS Chest Compression System, Air-Traq Video Laryngoscope, and Handtevy Pediatric Emergency Standards, among others.
