Seven million Medicare beneficiaries live outside our major cities. Ambulance service is their gateway to the world’s finest medical care. In the next two years, changes in Medicare reimbursement will threaten their access to EMS.

Rural EMS Advocates are committed to providing those seniors with quality basic and emergency life support services and transportation. REMS Advocate is a non-profit association of rural EMS providers and their partners in public policy who share a commitment to best practices, cost-effective public policy, and ethical advocacy for access to care in areas with low population densities.

REMS Advocate membership is free, and all rural EMS providers---volunteers, municipal providers, hospital-based, and investor-owned---are encouraged to join. 

REMS Advocate is committed to responsible stewardship, open debate, transparent policy process, and ethical advocacy.
