NEW Galveston EMS
Administrative Office

11/19/04

La Marque – Officials with the Galveston County Health District announced today they have moved the administrative offices of the Galveston Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to the Island Community Center at 4700 Broadway. This move will provide administrative personnel with improved facilities enabling them to better serve the citizens of Galveston.

Greg Kunkel, Chief of Operations for the Galveston EMS says, “This move will provide EMS with additional space to better coordinate staff and improve training capabilities. Additionally this move will free up much needed space at the main station which has been needed for some time.”

Per capita Galveston EMS remains one of the busiest EMS services in the state. Currently ambulance responses remain at an all time high topping the 10,000 mark at the end of October.

“The Health District enjoys working with the City of Galveston to provide this valuable service to all residents and visitors,” states Jay Holland, Chief Operating Officer for the District. “Galveston EMS has seen a steady increase in the number of calls responded to for several years and we continually work to meet the growing need.”

Citizens can reach the new offices by calling (409) 765-2524.
