Paramedics
Education, service and team work are core values that guide everything we do, and providing the highest quality of pre-hospital emergency care (including assessing, treating and transporting patients to an emergency department) is our commitment to you. This is accomplished by meeting and exceeding standards set by the Ministry of Health and County Council.
Visit the Grey County Paramedics Services website to learn more.
