Ambulance Services

North Mississippi Medical Center provides Ambulance Services in Clay, Itawamba, Lee, Pontotoc, Tishomingo and Webster counties. NMMC Ambulance Services work closely with area 911 Dispatch Centers to provide emergency response to all 911 calls. NMMC Ambulance Services also provide non-emergency transportation to move patients to and from NMMC facilities and personal residences.

NMMC-Tupelo was the first EMS in Mississippi to receive the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline® EMS Gold Award for implementing quality improvement measures for the treatment of patients who experience severe heart attacks—from the 9-1-1 call, to the ambulance, to the ER, to the treatment for restoring blood flow through the heart.

Our staff includes EMTs and paramedics.
