Thank you for visiting the Harney District Hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department. This department was formed in 2000 when the City of Burns Volunteer Fire Department passed ambulance service responsibilities to Harney District Hospital. Our service area encompasses the Burns and Hines communities, as well as the entire Harney County area; over 10,000 square miles!!

AIRLINK

Give yourself the peace of mind which comes with an AirLink membership. For only $58 each year, you can ensure your family receives the best emergency medical care without financial worry.

While AirLink flies anyone in medical need, regardless of their ability to pay, Member patients pay nothing out-of-pocket for their transport. AirLink flights can range from $11,000 to $25,000, so savings to the patient are significant. AirLink flies seriously ill or injured patients to medically appropriate facilities for needed treatment using a helicopter or plane staffed by trained medical personnel.

Combine your memberships for only $103 annually and benefit from the partnership between Harney District Hospital EMS and AirLink.

The First Responders need you!!

Many local volunteers have answered the call to help the Harney District EMS team cover the emergencies in our county. First Responders are alerted to emergency situations in their community by 911 dispatchers and are in constant contact by radio with EMS staff until the ambulance arrives on the scene.

First Responders are fully trained in life-saving methods by Harney District Hospital EMT Steve Sparks. They complete a rigorous training program and receive follow-up and special topics training after their graduation from the program.
