The Nassau Bay Emergency Medical Service (EMS) was a division of the Fire Department in the early 1970s. In 2003, Nassau Bay EMS was transferred from a volunteer service to a fully-paid EMS.
Our staff consists of EMS Administrator, Chief, supervisors, paramedics, and EMTs. All paramedic staff personnel are required to maintain Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Basic Trauma Life Support (BTLS) provider certifications. Most staff members also maintain CPR-Instructor certification.
One of our real strengths as an EMS organization has been our progressive standing orders. In 2014, Sandeep Duggal, M.D. became the current medical director for the Nassau Bay EMS.
