About Us
The Ross Valley Paramedic Authority brings the hospital emergency room to the patient. Firefighter-paramedics deliver advanced life support across the Ross Valley, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
The RVPA is an example of communities working together to deliver a vital life-saving service in a cost-effective way. Advanced Life Support paramedic care is a service above and beyond routine ambulance transport. Our paramedics are trained and equipped to provide advanced, life-saving care wherever it’s needed. Our medics reach the scene within minutes, when in critical situations it can mean the difference between life and death. Medical intervention is provided at the scene, and the patient is then transported to the emergency room in a modern ambulance transport unit.
The RVPA is a firefighter-based paramedic life support program. Fire and paramedic crews arrive within moments of a call for help and work together to treat the patient and stabilize the situation. Because this service is delivered by your local fire agencies, our primary mission is to provide the highest level of quality service and support to the members of our communities.
To deliver even higher levels of emergency care, the RVPA provides training and financial support so that paramedics are assigned not only to ambulance transport units, but also positioned strategically in fire stations across the Ross Valley. This further reduces response time for critical care and increases the chances for a full recovery.
We are proud of the advanced emergency medical care we provide, and equally proud of the lasting partnership formed in the Ross Valley so that we can serve our communities well. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you into the future.
