Greetings Everyone,
A message from NYS DOH BEMS:
Ambulance Agency Leaders:
The Emergency Preparedness and Response Unit asks that your ambulance agency respond to the survey link below.
This survey is seeking interest from your agency to respond as part deployment that has a primary mission focused on load balancing health care facilities; where patients may be transported between facilities throughout New York State. The survey is a quick set of questions for the purpose of polling the ambulance agencies across NYS to determine which agencies may be interested in entering into a contract for service with the NYS DOH BEMSATS.

Even if your agency is not interested in entering into a contract we ask that you please answer the survey. Responses must be in by 6:00 AM Thursday, December 2, 2021.
NYS DOH BEMSATS thanks you and your agency for taking the time to complete the survey.
