TALLAHASSEE Fla.--The Leon County Emergency Medical Service has received the highest national standards of service for the third time and has secured a top national accreditation.
The Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services, Panel of Commissioners recently met and conferred another three-year accreditation to Leon County EMS.
To receive the accreditation, requires meeting strict national standards of excellence. Applicants must also meet the "Gold Standard" for the ambulance industry.
In 2010, Leon County EMS became Florida's first government-operated EMS system to meet the rigorous standards and receive accreditation.
Only 11 other agencies in the state of Florida have achieved these standards.
