Monroe County EMS

Monroe County EMS is under the direction of Southwestern Illinois Region IV. Dedicated to better serve our community with some of the most advanced equipment available and being one of the most proactive ambulance services in southern Illinois, we are constantly seeking ways to better improve our service and injury prevention in our community.

Our service area covers approximately 339 square miles. Our western border is lined with the Mississippi River and miles of bluffs. The north, south and eastern portion of our territory are farmland. Illinois caverns are also in our area and attract thousands of tourists a year.

Our staff is comprised of some of the most respected paramedics and EMT’s within Southwestern Illinois Region IV. Due to our geographic location, our standard for hiring is one of the most stringent in the area. Furthermore, due to our geographical location, transport times may be upwards of 30 minutes. For this reason, our employees go through rigorous continuing education and training in order to stay up to date with the latest trends in emergency care. More critical incidents may require us to airlift patients.
