Commited to Excellence in Emergency Medical Services

What is AMEMSO?

 

The Association of Municipal Emergency Medical Services of Ontario (AMEMSO) was formalized as a non-profit corporation in 2002. Previously known as the Ontario EMS Directors and Managers group, the association began in 1998 when municipal representatives recognized the need to meet as a group and develop common strategies for optimizing the transition to municipal control of ambulance service.

Today, 46 member municipalities and designated delivery agents, as well as 9 contract ambulance providers, are represented through AMEMSO. AMEMSO is the primary link providing municipal EMS provider advice and recommendations to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), and the Land Ambulance Implementation Steering Committee (LAISC).
