The Quincy/Adams County 9-1-1 Center receives and dispatches calls for ambulance (EMS) service. Callers play a very important role in the emergency medical dispatch process. They hold the key to a wealth of information and can help care for the sick or injured until EMTs and paramedics arrive. EMTs and paramedics along with the 9-1-1 dispatcher rely upon the caller to provide crucial patient information in order to provide efficient, appropriate care.
