OEMSA - Now on FACEBOOK at Oregon Paramedics

 

Welcome... 

 

Since 1974, OEMSA, formally the Oregon State Paramedic Association (OSPA), has been and remains Oregon's only statewide association representing all levels of prehospital EMS care providers: First Responders, EMT-Basics, EMT-Intermediates, and Paramedics. 

 

In 2009, OSPA changed their mission and membership to include ALL professions that provide prehospital care and/or ambulance transportation in Oregon, opening membership to RNs, PAs and physicians.  If you meet the legal requirements to provide pre-hospital care and/or ambulance service in Oregon, OEMSA is your organization. 

 

As a non-profit, tax-exempt organization since 1982 and the official NAEMT affiliate for Oregon, we welcome you to our web site.

 

OEMSA's Mission: 

   “To promote excellence in the delivery of prehospital emergency medical services.”

 

 

   OEMSA's Objectives: 

Advocate: Advocate for EMS providers and improved patient care through research, public education, and initiation of local, state and national activities and legislative actions.

Communicate: Better communication between EMS personnel and the communities we serve.

Educate: Educational advancement of EMS providers in prehospital care services.
