Ambulance Service

A Brief History of GCAS 

Greene County Ambulance Service (GCAS) was created in 1974 when the Greene County Sheriff decided to take over the responsibility of providing Emergency Medical Services from local funeral services. Stations were established in Bloomfield, Linton, and Jasonville with a total of six fulltime employees and a director. Initially a BLS provider, GCAS became a Paramedic level provider on June 1, 2006.

GCAS has continually grown every year since its creation in 1974, with now 30 fulltime employees. We now have stations in Bloomfield, Jasonville, Linton, Solsberry, and Taylor Township. Our patient volume has also grown every year since the service began. Annually, GCAS averages more than 4,500 transports.

G.C.A.S. Philosophy

EMS is a team effort. No one works in EMS by him or herself. We believe that in order to work well at GCAS you must be a team player. We are one of the best teams in the state. We firmly believe that we can make a difference in the lives of our patients. We want that difference to be a positive one. We believe that patient care is our first and foremost priority. All GCAS staff members from our Director down the line, work as a team to provide the very best patient care for our patients and their families. Always remember that we represent Greene County in all that we do.

G.C.A.S. Mission Statement

The GCAS mission is to be prepared to respond to any emergency, anytime and anywhere in the shortest time possible, and upon our arrival initiate quality emergency medical healthcare until the patient responds to the medical treatment, eliminating the emergency, or the patient is transported and handed over to a licensed medical facility.
