The program is part of the County’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) System Plan, utilizing trained responders certified to a minimum level of NC Medical Responder or higher, and operates under the day-to-day oversight by the EMS Division and the Division’s Medical Director. Program coordination is provided by EMS Division Captain Daniel Robinson.

Medical Responder Agency

All responders are affiliated with a Medical Responder Agency, which receives approval to operate by the Department of Emergency Services and the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. All of the county’s fire departments individually serve as medical responder agencies for their respective districts.

Entities serving as a Medical Responder Agency receive their operational guidance through several documents, including:

• Rowan County Medical Responder Guidelines (PDF)
• Rowan County EMS Patient Care Guidelines (PDF)

Meetings

Each Medical Responder Agency designates one of it’s personnel as a Medical Responder Coordinator, who provides general oversight of the program’s functionality at the individual agency/department level. The Coordinators meet 4 times a year to discuss current general operations and to provide a forum for all of the agencies and the EMS Division.
