Emergency Services

The Health Department is responsible for providing ambulance services for the Region of Durham and works with other community partners to help deliver emergency services.

The Region of Durham Paramedic Services is one of the largest paramedic services in Ontario and the only certified ambulance operator for Durham Region. The service has more than 300 advanced care and primary care paramedics, stationed at 11 paramedic stations across Durham.

We work in co-operation with Durham Regional Police Service and local fire services as first responders.
