For over 100 years, our organization has been providing prompt, professional pre-hospital care to the residents, workers and visitors of Hudson County, NJ.  Since the days of taking patients to the Medical Center via horse-drawn ambulances, JCMC EMS has now grown into a fast-paced and dynamic service that includes Basic and Advanced Life Support, special operations, neonatal transfers, critical care inter-facility transports, regional EMS communications, and much more!  As one of the largest and busiest EMS systems in the state, JCMC EMS now triages, treats and transports more than 80,000 patients a year!  We also play a vital role in domestic preparedness education, homeland security response and educating the public and healthcare providers in CPR and advanced adult and pediatric life support.

We hope that this website will serve as a resource to you in learning about the many services we provide to the community.

Thank you for visiting us!

Sincerely,

Christopher Rinn
