Millcreek Paramedic Service

Membership 2016-2017

During the course of our membership campaign , we are often asked , “ How does a membership benefit me and my family ?”

Millcreek Paramedic Service is your 911 provider in Millcreek Township . Your membership helps us reinvest in our community to provide the most advanced pre-hospital medical care . Emergencies can happen in the blink of an eye . A motor vehicle accident , fall or preexisting health condition can turn into an emergency in a matter of seconds . A growing percentage of our emergency responses are for patients in their late 20 ’ s to mid 40 ’ s . Those in the community who are 50 + years old , support our membership campaign in large numbers , realizing the benefits of a Millcreek Paramedic Service membership .
Today ’ s insurance plans vary in coverage based on age , health and employer . Most with high deductibles and co-payments do keep policies affordable for working families and those of fixed incomes .
As a member of Millcreek Paramedic Service , in the event of an emergency transport to the hospital , after insurance is billed and payment if received , the membership will take care of any remaining balance owed . If another service in Erie County transports a member of MPS for an emergency , please know that your membership covers you anywhere in Erie County .
Please accept our appreciation to those many loyal members who faithfully join our membership year after year . We offer the invitation to those who have yet to join to take advantage of a membership now to prepare for that emergency that just may happen today .
In the years before Millcreek Paramedic Service was founded , Millcreek Township ’ s five volunteer fire departments ; Belle Valley , Kearsarge , West Ridge , West Lake and Lake Shore , provided emergency medical treatment and transportation to the residents and visitors of Millcreek Township .
Recognizing the growing demand for EMS service in Millcreek Township , the five volunteer fire departments combined their resources in 1999 to form a paid service available 24 hours a day , 7 days a week to meet the emergency medical needs of our community .
Today , Millcreek Volunteer Fire Departments still maintain overall management of Millcreek Paramedic Service through a board of directors with each owner department providing one representative .
Millcreek Paramedic Service is proud to continue the tradition of providing life-saving care to the township while adhering to the volunteer spirit of service and dedication .
