Wilderness EMS (WEMS)
Wilderness Emergency Medical Support (WEMS) brings emergency medical care to austere and remote environments, delivered by EMERGILITY® EMS, a Virginia OEMS-licensed EMS Agency (#50537).
When Help Is Hours Away
Wilderness Emergency Medical Support (WEMS)
In the wilderness, the nearest hospital may be hours away, and the nearest ambulance may not be able to reach you at all. Prehospital care in resource-limited environments is the essence of EMS.
EMERGILITY® WEMS clinicians are advanced, multidisciplinary EMS providers cross-trained in rescue, transport, and survival. They bring physician-directed emergency care to the trail, the job site, and the remote destination, so you can experience the outdoors with peace of mind.
