Emergent Health Partners is a nonprofit emergency medical services organization providing ALS and BLS EMS services to 1.1 million people in 14 counties of southern Michigan. Emergent Health operates out of Ann Arbor, Michigan with additional regional headquarters in Plymouth, Jackson, Battle Creek, and Monroe. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees made up of community leaders from our service area.Emergent Health's flagship EMS agency, Huron Valley Ambulance, was founded in 1981. Since its Ann Arbor-based beginnings, HVA has expanded to serve all of Washtenaw County as well as portions of Wayne and Oakland counties. After HVA's success, it continued to grow by creating four additional ambulance services to provide emergency care throughout Jackson, Monroe, Lenawee, and Calhoun counties. In 2012, Emergent Health Partners was founded in an effort to bring all five ambulance services together as a strong, cohesive EMS operation. In 2018, Emergent Health expanded to Michigan's west side when LifeCare Ambulance of Battle Creek was added to the organization. This new growth made Emergent Health Partners the largest EMS provider in Michigan. Emergent Health Partners operates with over 100 ambulances and close to 600 licensed EMTs and paramedics. All of Emergent Health's EMS operations are accredited by CAAS - the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services. Of the 13,000 ambulance services currently operating in the United States, fewer than 200 are presently CAAS accredited. Maintaining CAAS accreditation assures that Emergent Health Partners prioritizes up-to-date and well-maintained equipment, rigorous employee training, and high-level hiring requirements in order to provide the communities we serve with exemplary pre-hospital emergency care.
