Welcome
to the online home of LifeMed EMS. With bases in North Manchester
and Silver Lake,
LifeMed has been a leader in Emergency Medical Services in northeast
Indiana since 1985. Becoming Wabash County's first paramedic
EMS provider in 1993, LifeMed was the first to bring "big city"
levels of prehospital care to our rural customers. Through
affiliation with an aggressive medical control system we continue to
bring advances to the communities we serve, including some not yet
found in some area high population centers.
Our tiered medical transportation system ensures
that we are able to provide the most appropriate type of
 medical
transportation to our customers. This ranges from ambulatory and
wheelchair transportation to highly skilled paramedic level critical care
transport and 911 services. LifeMed is the only EMS agency in the area
that offers such a broad range of services.
Please feel free to browse this site and get to
know us a little better. Inside you'll find answers to many questions you
may have as well as valuable information about community education
offerings, employment opportunities and more. This site is updated
frequently, so check back often. If there is something you'd like to see
here but can't find, please

us an email and we'll try to add it.

LifeMed Hosts ITLS Course
5/15/2010 - Sixteen EMTs and paramedics from LifeMed and other
nearby agencies met at the North Manchester Public Safety Building
on May 14 and 15 to attend the International Trauma Life Support
course. Students were instructed in the latest information and
techniques in trauma care. The course's goal is to improve trauma
survival by improving the student's ability to prioritize injuries,
shorten scene times and recognize and treat the most common causes
of trauma death.
LifeMed Celebrates a Quarter
Century of Service
2/14/2010 - Today marks twenty-five years of service by LifeMed
EMS to the Wabash-Kosciusko County area. Certified originally on
February 14, 1985 as a BLS ambulance service, LifeMed has grown over
the years. On February 17, 1993 LifeMed became the first Paramedic
level EMS provider in Wabash County.
Today LifeMed operates four
ambulances and a Paramedic Non-Transport Unit out of bases in North
Manchester and Silver Lake. Its staff of nearly forty basic and
advanced EMTs and paramedics provide 911 and nonemergency ambulance
service to over 200 square miles of northern Wabash and southern
Kosciusko Counties and critical care transfer services to several
area hospitals. LifeMed also provides wheelchair and ambulatory
transport services to area healthcare facilities as a more cost
effective transportation option for patients who do not require
transport on a stretcher.

Lake base on New Years Day. The new base is in the Silver Lake/Lake
