Community-centered programs

The complex health needs of King County's residents can be as diverse as its communities. The EMS Division and its partners offer a wide variety of community-centered services and programs to ensure emergency medical services provided are equitable, appropriate, and of the highest quality.  We work with our partners to:

  • prevent the need to call 9-1-1 in the first place
  • provide public awareness campaigns
  • deliver direct intervention programs to avoid injuries

Together we keep King County's residents healthy and safe.

Learn about these programs:
