The California Health and Safety Code requires that each county which develops an emergency medical services program must designate a local EMS agency. Consistent with that requirement, the Sonoma County Department of Health Services has been designated as the Local Emergency Medical Services Agency (LEMSA) for Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.

Mission

Medical emergencies occur at any given time or location and require a coordinated effort involving multiple agencies, personnel and facilities to ensure an expeditious response and high standard of care. The Coastal Valleys Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system has been designed to incorporate these agencies and facilities into a dynamic emergency medical care delivery system that is focused on rapid access to emergency locations, patient assessment, stabilization of patients and their transportation.
