Families in many communities in southern Manitoba will soon have enhanced access to emergency medical services (EMS) as construction is now underway on a new EMS station in Iles des Chênes.

The provincial government will continue building a new era of emergency medical services (EMS) in Manitoba by taking immediate action to create a more unified and responsive EMS system.

The province is increasing funding for emergency medical services, as well as investing in new emergency facilities and replacement ambulances to provide improved services for patients.

May 17 to 23 has been proclaimed Emergency Medical Services Awareness Week in Manitoba in recognition of the life-saving work the province’s emergency medical services (EMS) professionals do each and every day, Health Minister Theresa Oswald has announced.
