GEORGIA’S LONGEST CONSECUTIVE  NATIONALLY-ACCREDITED AGENCY

National EMS is proudly celebrating more than 20 consecutive years of national accreditation by the Committee on Accreditation of Ambulance Services. National accreditation is the industry’s gold standard certifying that every aspect of National EMS’ operations from clinical care to community outreach well exceeds national standards. National EMS is one of only eight accredited companies in the state of Georgia and one of only 170 agencies in the country.

National EMS was one of the original 17 ambulance services in the nation to be accredited by CAAS and only one of eight that has maintained their accreditation without lapse since then.
