Philosophy and Purpose

---

To provide exceptional pre-hospital care and education for the rural communities we serve through the formal cooperation of local governments and dedicated employees.

Our organization provides emergency care and medical transport using advanced treatment techniques and sophisticated patient care equipment. Clinical and non-clinical services are evaluated through an internal quality assurance program to maintain and improve the quality of care provided and to assure patient satisfaction. 

They must be exceptional individuals who are dedicated to emergency medical care and their role in its provision. Must be team players who are motivated to achieve, have high standards of quality and integrity, be supportive of new concepts, and be interested in being contributors. 

Wayland Area EMS is a governmental authority that is operated and ultimately responsible to the communities it serves. To provide quality services, WAEMS must be financially viable. Financial stability ensures our long-term ability to continue serving the emergency care needs of the citizens who reside in the communities we serve. 

The delivery of pre-hospital care is constantly changing and improving. Our organization must always learn new and improved methods to benefit our patients and ourselves. As our knowledge increases, our ability to assess and treat patients' needs will increase. We will actively promote EMS education and training for the public and our staff. 

Well-maintained and amply supplied units will be provided for our patients and staff. Continuous thought and attention will be given to promote growth and commitment. Wayland Area EMS will take a leadership role in the development of this area's pre-hospital care system.
