Adams Regional EMS

What Adams Regional EMS does

Adams Regional EMS (AREMS) is a Pennsylvania-incorporated nonprofit emergency medical services organization headquartered at 13 North Bolton Street, New Oxford, PA, operating within Adams County. The company delivers prehospital care and ambulance transport via Advanced Life Support (ALS) Mobile Intensive Care Units staffed by paramedics and EMTs, Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulances staffed by two EMTs, and paramedic-staffed Chase Car rapid-response vehicles without transport capability. AREMS holds the highest call volume in Adams County and operates as a cooperative effort among six established local fire departments — Gettysburg Fire Department, United Hook & Ladder 33, Fairfield Fire & EMS, Cashtown Community Fire Department, Arendtsville Community Volunteer Fire Department, and Bendersville Community Fire Company — under a county designation of Co.54.

Revenue is generated through four lines: (1) per-incident emergency transport billing at over $1,100 per visit, with direct insurance billing; (2) a subscription Ambulance Club Membership program (Single $50, Family $75, Family Extended $125 annually) that waives unpaid balances for members; (3) fee-based special-event medical coverage (BLS ambulance, ALS ambulance, Chase Car); and (4) ASHI-approved CPR/first-aid training courses for first responders, healthcare providers, corporate teams, and the general public, recognized in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Operations are integrated with county 911 dispatch and supported by community fundraising events such as the annual Giving Spree.

AREMS is currently hiring across EMT, Paramedic, and PHRN/CCT Nurse roles. The organization is led in an administrative capacity by Business Manager Amy Lebo. No institutional investment, parent company, M&A activity, or funding rounds are disclosed; ownership and governance reside within the cooperative member agencies under Pennsylvania nonprofit law.
