Bath Community Ambulance Service

Since January 2005, the Bath Community Ambulance Service has been available to transport patients to and from other health care facilities in the region.

Trained emergency medical personnel are available 24 hours a day with two ambulances licensed for both basic life support for minor injuries and advanced life support for more serious conditions. The service is also available to pick up patients from other facilities to bring them back to Bath Community Hospital. This new service is not a replacement for local EMS Services.

The Bath Community Ambulance Service would not be possible without the support of the community. Through the efforts of the Bath Community Hospital Foundation, over $70,000 was raised toward the $125,000 required to establish the service, which includes two ambulances, a cardiac monitor, stretchers and insurance. Bath Community Hospital also received a 50/50 matching grant from the Rescue Squad Assistance Fund.
