Emergency Services at Kimball Health Services

Kimball Health Services became Nebraska's first "Basic Level Trauma Center" in 2003 and we still are today.

Our highly trained staff are available to care for you when emergency situations occur, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.   

Emergency Medical Service (EMS) response in Kimball County has been provided by Kimball Health Services EMS since November 2022.

Our mission is to provide professional, compassionate and clinically excellent care to every patient every time.  We respond to approximately 750 calls per year. With a staff of around 20 personnel, we operate in 3 ambulances and 1 supervisor vehicle. Kimball Health Services EMS operates two levels of ambulance response.

• Basic Life Support (BLS) – A BLS ambulance is staffed with a minimum of one EMT.  EMT’s can manage bleeding, shock, pregnancy/delivery, minor injuries and so much more. EMTs are a vital part of our emergency response system in Kimball County, providing this vital care to 911 calls, special events, and transfers to other facilities in the region.
• Advanced Life Support (ALS) – ALS ambulances are staffed with a minimum of one paramedic. Paramedics have advanced skills and training, allowing them to provide lifesaving procedures in a pre-hospital setting. Paramedics can manage cardiac complications, airway management and invasive procedures to provide the absolute best care in the field. ALS ambulances are ready to respond to emergencies and patient transfers to other facilities within the region.

We provide in-house training for Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support and many other educational opportunities to ensure we are up-to-date on the most current practices and standards.

When lives depend on the skills of emergency personnel, our highly trained EMTs and paramedics will be ready to respond.
