Department Overview
Santiam Ambulance is a hospital-based ambulance service providing Advanced Life Support (ALS) services to a primary coverage area of approximately 160 square miles, including Stayton, Sublimity, Aumsville, Marion, and Scio. Additionally, we provide mutual aid to surrounding communities, covering over 1,000 square miles. Unlike some hospital-based teams, our paramedics are not stationed inside the hospital or working in the emergency department. Instead, they respond to emergency 9-1-1 calls, delivering prehospital care directly to patients in their time of need.
We are committed to a culture of performance excellence, high reliability, and dependability, where every team member plays an integral role in the department’s success and the well-being of the community. As a hospital-based ambulance service, our paramedics have unique access to expanded training opportunities, working alongside teams in the OR, OB, ICU, and ED, further enhancing our ability to deliver exceptional care. With over 3,000 calls annually, our team thrives in a collaborative environment that ensures continuous learning and growth for all members.
