Mamaroneck Emergency Medical Services (MEMS)

Mamaroneck Emergency Medical Services (MEMS) is a volunteer ambulance service providing emergency care for the Village of Mamaroneck. Operating 24 hours a day, MEMS responds to over 1,200 calls for assistance each year.

As a volunteer organization, members donate their personal time to staff the ambulance. Each crew consists of a paramedic, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), ambulance driver, and an attendant. Members volunteer a minimum of one shift per week and attend regular training sessions to further advance their skills and knowledge.

Utilizing paramedics provided by the Town of Mamaroneck Ambulance District, MEMS offers Advanced Life Support (ALS). Paramedics receive tremendous amounts of initial training and ongoing medical education allowing them to offer high levels of care normally found in a hospital emergency room.

Funding for MEMS comes from various sources. The operating budget is administered by the Town of Mamaroneck Ambulance District. Funding for the district is made available through money collected from patient insurance providers. This allows the MEMS to operate without using resident tax dollars. Capital expenses are funded through an Ambulance Fund controlled by a board consisting of the Village Manager, Village Treasurer, 2 Village residents, and the MEMS Captain. The donations that the fund receives have afforded MEMS with state-of-the-art ambulance and modern medical equipment.
