Port Jefferson EMS

What Port Jefferson EMS does

Port Jefferson EMS (legal name Port Jefferson Volunteer Ambulance) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, combination career-and-volunteer emergency medical services agency established in 1959 and headquartered at 25 Crystal Brook Hollow Road in Mount Sinai, Suffolk County, New York. It provides 24/7/365 Advanced Life Support and Basic Life Support ambulance response as the exclusive 911 EMS provider for Port Jefferson, Belle Terre, and Mount Sinai, covering approximately 16 square miles, 30,000 residents, one million annual visitors, and 30,000 daily Long Island Rail Road commuters, with more than 2,300 emergency requests per year. Beyond 911 response, the agency operates a Special Operations Division that includes Suffolk County REMAC-approved Rescue Medics, the only ambulance agency in the Brookhaven Technical Rescue Task Force (seven technical rescue disciplines), a 25-patient MCI/Fire Rehab Unit, a K9 facility dog program, and an Inter-Facility Division for non-emergency medical transports.

The agency's product surface extends well beyond emergency response into a structured education business operated from the Dr. Mitchell C. Pollack Center for EMS Education, an authorized AHA Training Center and NAEMT Authorized Training Center. Programs include Rapid EMT-B Original Courses, ACLS/BLS/PALS/Heartsaver courses, NAEMT curricula (AMLS, PHTLS, EVOS, TCCC, GEMS, All Hazards Disaster Response), Stop The Bleed community training, and a recently added NYS Safe Powerboating Certificate Course. Recruitment is supported by four membership tiers including a Bunk-In live-in program and a College Student Membership tied to nearby Stony Brook University, with additional outreach to St. Joseph's University and area school districts.

The revenue model is hybrid and non-donation-only: emergency and inter-facility transport revenue is generated through third-party billing authorized for the Village of Port Jefferson and Belle Terre (with proceeds returned to originating municipalities in proportion to budget disbursement), supplemented by training tuition ($1,200 for non-EMS EMT students, $250 for current EMS personnel, $360 for TCCC), course administrative fees, tax-deductible community donations, and municipal budget support. Go-to-market combines a Suffolk County-routed 911 dispatch channel, a direct-to-consumer training channel marketed through Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, the pjems.org website, and the Enrollware self-serve registration platform, plus school and university partnership channels.
