Emergency Medical Services

Town of Hempstead EMS is the primary provider of medical services at the advanced life support level for the waterfront beaches, parklands, and marinas in the Town.  As a first response agency, TOH EMS partners with our local fire departments to augment their ambulance response services.  

TOH EMS also manages the Town’s public health initiatives, keeping the workforce safe and healthy, maintaining the fleet of public access defibrillators, supporting the naloxone overdose prevention program, and educating the public in first aid, CPR, stop the bleed, and AED use. 

TOH EMS’ public health role also includes a mobile vaccine unit that can bring our paramedics to you to provide vaccinations on-site, and to homebound citizens or those with decreased mobility. To request our vaccine unit or to set up a home vaccination call 516-897-4110.
