Emergency Medical Services

Adams County Public Hospital District #2 has four ambulances: two in Ritzville, one in Lind, and one in Washtucna.  They cover approximately 1500 square miles of eastern Adams County.

There are approximately 20 EMTs to cover basic life support services 24 hours per day.  They are all paid volunteers from the three communities.  Ambulance requests are received through 911 and dispatched by the Sheriff's Office.

Interfacility transports are provided to other outlying hospitals either by the ground ambulances or by air via MedStar as needed.

Anyone interested in becoming an EMT or an ambulance driver, please contact the hospital at (509) 659-1200 and ask for Amy Sawyer.
