About Us
Northern Oxford Regional Ambulance Service dba Med-Care Ambulance is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that provides emergency medical services (EMS) in Northern Oxford County, Maine. Med-Care is a quasi-municipal ambulance service, which is owned by all eleven communities it provides services for. Our station in Mexico, Maine is staffed by 18 full-time and 30 per-diem EMS providers at all levels (EMT, AEMT and Paramedic) who respond to over 4,000 calls annually.
Our History
Med-Care Ambulance was formed in 1988 when the previous ambulance service notified local officials that it would be ending its services. Eleven communities combined their resources to form the Northern Oxford Regional Ambulance Service which came to be known as Med-Care.
Since June of 1988 Med-Care has provided emergency medical services (EMS) to rural communities comprising over 560 square miles. Each member town provides a representative to our board of directors that is responsible for budget oversight as well as personnel management and policymaking.
Mission Statement
Med-Care Ambulance is committed to providing exceptional, patient centered care with respect, accountability, integrity and dedication at all times. We are devoted to ensuring that every member of the communities we serve has access to lifesaving healthcare because at Med-Care, we are “In It For Life“.
