Town of Canaan-EMS
Canaan Emergency Medical Services (CEMS) is a quasi-independent department managed by an elected Chief of Service and associated assistants. With a budget of nearly $400,000 per year, CEMS provides emergency medical care to the citizens of Canaan and surrounding towns through a team of 26 dedicated EMTs, AEMTs, and Paramedics. Supported by tax funding, insurance reimbursements, contracted services, and donations, CEMS operates 24/7 with three ambulances and ensures the safety of the community by properly decontaminating equipment after each call.
In addition to its emergency medical services, CEMS is part of the Town of Canaan government, with payroll and accounting handled through the Town's systems. The department operates under the supervision of the Chief of Service and the Operations Director, with one full-time employee and a team of volunteers who receive a nominal stipend. CEMS also houses the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), which received a grant of $98,000 for office and communications equipment, enhancing its ability to coordinate with state and local resources during community emergencies.
