No. The two services are completely separate. Miller EMS is privately owned and operated by
Miller E.M.S., L.L.C. No tax dollars are utilized to maintain the service. Medford Ambulance is a municipal
operated ambulance service operated by the City of Medford.


Does Miller EMS always respond with a paramedic?
As with any emergency service, Miller EMS must carefully manage it's resources. Our first out unit is
staffed daily to the paramedic level. When our first unit is dispatched to a call, we strive to "staff up" the
second ambulance to cover until the first ambulance returns. Most days this is possible and when staffed
the second out unit is at least at an advanced level and usually the paramedic level. If a call is received for
a "scheduled" transfer Miller EMS will assign a special crew to handle this type of call in an effort to leave
first out resources in service. These scheduled transfers are staffed according to the level of care needed.


How many ambulances does Miller EMS have?
Miller EMS has two ambulance units both stocked and capable of providing care at the critical care level.
We also have a four wheel drive supervisor/quick response unit which is stocked to the paramedic level. In
addition to the ambulances and the supervisor unit, we also have an ATV unit for off road use like during
special events or S.A.R. operations.


What if I call Miller EMS for an ambulance response and all of their
ambulances are already on a call?
Miller EMS strives to handle every call that we get, however as with all emergency services resources can
become taxed requiring us to pass some calls to other ambulance services. If you are requesting a
pre-hospital emergency response, and Miller EMS is unavailable, we will take your call information and
pass it to the next available ambulance service. It will be seamless for you. If you are requesting an
inter-facility transfer, we will either schedule your transfer, or if it is a priority that needs to go "now" we will
gladly assist you in finding another transfer service capable of handling your patient.
