Ambulance service for residents of East Pennsboro Township is supported through a paid subscription program. The subscription year runs from September 1 through August 31 of each year. The subscription fee is currently $70.00 and includes coverage by East Pennsboro Ambulance Service, Inc. (EPAS) and West Shore Advanced Life Support (WSALS).

East Pennsboro Ambulance Service, Inc. is committed to provide comprehensive emergency pre-hospital services to meet the needs of you and your loved ones. We employ qualified emergency medical technicians and utilize trained volunteers from the community to staff our ambulances.

This annual subscription drive is a significant source of funding. Your subscription assists East Pennsboro Ambulance Service, Inc. to purchase new and replacement vehicles, state-of-the-art equipment and to provide ongoing emergency medical service education to our employees and the community.

BENEFIT OF SUBSCRIPTION

Subscription covers emergency transportation to the nearest hospital within Dauphin or Cumberland County. Emergencies include but are not limited to chest pain, severe bleeding fractures, shortness of breath, etc. for your family members living with you. When in doubt as to whether or not your condition warrants an emergency transport, DIAL 9-1-1.

If East Pennsboro Ambulance Service is unavailable at the time of your emergency we have mutual aid agreements with surrounding ambulance services. We also have subscription reciprocity with most of the ambulance services in the surrounding area.

MEDICARE RECIPIENTS
