EMS AGENCY MISSION STATEMENT
The EMS Agency is committed to the needs of the multicounty pre-hospital
environment. Our mission is to inspire, educate, evaluate, direct, provide
resources, and ensure that each citizen receives the highest level of care.
Our goals are to facilitate an environment of collaboration among all providers
and agencies in which there is innovation, purpose, standardized care, proactive
technologies, preparedness, coordination, and integration.
Our values are honesty, loyalty, equality, originality, integrity, and communication.

Agreement Number: C19-015
Funding Application, Attachment 1

CCEMSA – 2019/20 Regional Funding Application Page 1
This application to the State of California
Emergency Medical Services Authority is for
the continuation of State General Fund
assistance for the planning, implementation,
and maintenance of a multi-county EMS
system. The Fresno County Department of
Public Health is the designated local EMS
Agency for the Counties of Fresno, Kings,
Madera and Tulare Counties. Through
specific agreements between each County,
this integrated EMS system provides 100%
paramedic coverage with consolidated
resources of both public and private
provider agencies. The development of
regional policies and procedures assures
that out of hospital care and procedures are
consistent and that patients throughout the
region are receiving quality patient care.
Significant changes are occurring in
healthcare and the Emergency Medical
Services has an increasing role in the
delivery of prehospital and “out-of-hospital”
care. As “mobile integrated healthcare”
expands the EMS systems of today
continue to find themselves in an awkward
position of developing changes in the
delivery model of prehospital care that must
occur, while at the same time trying to
protect the EMS system from expansion of
traditional services and roles that are no
longer needed. EMS systems are looking
towards healthcare models that further
decrease the number of patients accessing
emergency departments. The CCEMSA has
implemented several changes this past year
with the sole focus of trying to keep
paramedic ambulances available to the
EMS system. This includes furthering the
use of Basic Life Support ambulances to
handle prehospital requests for behavioral
health incidents (i.e. 5150) and many non-
emergency requests for ambulance service
that data has shown not to require the use
of an paramedic ambulance. The EMS
Agency also reduced code 3 responses by
nearly 30% by conducting an in-depth study
of responses, which resulted in reducing
many lights and sirens responses to non-
lights and sirens responses.
The EMS agency’s continuing challenge is
to assure that the integrity of the EMS
System remains intact. The EMS system
continues to move forward and ideas are in
place to further enhance the quality level of
care provided throughout the EMS region.
The funding provided by the State of
California assists the EMS Agency in
maintaining this level of commitment to
each of these counties and provides a
standard level of care that may not be
possible without this assistance.
The Central California EMS Agency is
prepared to meet the challenges of the
coming year. With the challenges come
opportunities and the CCEMSA will be
aggressively pursuing any changes that will
continue to protect the citizens, continue the
provision of excellent prehospital care, and
expand the development of out-of-hospital
care.
While we acknowledge the changing
dynamics in today’s healthcare systems, we
remain confident in our ability to execute
and look forward to the year ahead for
Emergency Medical Services.
