ABOUT OSAA

For nearly fifty years, the Oregon State Ambulance Association has promoted high standards of ambulance and emergency medical services (EMS). Our members provide air and ground emergency ambulance service throughout Oregon. Our mission is to help our members do the best possible job of protecting the public and saving lives.

Members of the Oregon State Ambulance Association (OSAA) are private and public organizations that provide 9-1-1 emergency ambulance service and transportation throughout much of the state.

OSAA meets regularly for members to exchange information and review legislation and regulations. Our members regularly participate in governmental activities affecting EMS, serving on state and local committees for EMS, trauma and 9-1-1. 

• Our members are licensed by state and local governments, and must meet federal, state and local requirements.
• All of our emergency medical technicians (EMTs) work with physician advisers and are certified by the State.
• Oregon’s emergency ambulance providers are part of the EMS community, and work closely with physicians, hospitals, nurses, law enforcement and others.
