Welcome to the Region II Emergency Medical Services, Inc website. We are glad you chose to visit us and we hope you will find our site easy to use and informational.

Region II EMS Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization which encompasses the seven (7) southwestern counties (Catron, Dona Ana, Grant, Hidalgo, Luna, Sierra and Socorro) of New Mexico.

We are contracted with the New Mexico Department of Health, Epidemiology & Response Division, and work closely with the EMS Bureau and the Bureau of Health Emergency Management. We are committed to Trauma and Health Systems Development and work with everyone from First Responders to First Receivers to ensure the best possible outcome for patient care.

Region II EMS is engaged in several programs throughout the spectrum from teaching CPR to the general public to assisting hospitals in becoming designated as Trauma Centers. We provide continuing education training for responders and EMS services to ensure they are capable of providing YOU the best available care necessary. Some of the ways we do this by taking the training to them with our traveling CE Circuit and hosting an annual EMS Conference each year in November.

We are involved in Health System Preparedness by participating in Emergency Management activities and working with the Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPC’s) to develop and update their local systems All Hazards Emergency Operations Plans (AHEOP).  We are also a “PILOT COMMUNITY” for the New Mexico Modular Emergency Medical System program which is designed to assist hospitals in dealing with “Extreme Patient Surge” during a catastrophic event. www.nmmems.org

Trauma Center Designation for hospitals is a project the Regional EMS offices and the New Mexico Department of Health, EMS Bureau is working hard towards accomplishing. During our assistance with this project we currently have Sierra Vista Hospital seeking a Level 4 designation. We are also working with Socorro General Hospital, Mimbres Memorial Hospital, and Mountain View Regional Medical Center to help them through the designation process.

Please surf our website to find the necessary information to you need to accomplish your goals and if there is something extra you desire, please contact me or one of my very capable staff to assist you. Thanks again for visiting Region II EMS.
