Pecos Valley Public Services is a 501(c)(3) volunteer driven community EMS agency. We are a new kind of Emergency Medical Service. Unlike traditional EMS and community paramedicine services, our community EMS adopts a “protective” approach to out-of-hospital care. This means we typically do not respond to emergency medical calls. Instead, we embed ourselves in community events, with a special focus on vulnerable groups such as the unhoused and elderly. In addition, we offer training programs (CPR, AED, Stop The Bleed) and conduct “pop-ups” at popular locations to educate the public on preventable medical issues that could otherwise escalate into life-threatening and costly emergencies.

Our team is made up of trained, licensed, trained and insured volunteers who step up to serve our community, ensuring that help is always close by, no matter the situation. We work quickly and efficiently to stabilize patients and, if needed, organize safe transport to the nearest medical facility.

Our approach has been met with overwhelming success. Now, we face the crucial question of
how to move forward. Our current funding allows us to continue providing services on a
limited scale, with the understanding that we cannot take on additional responsibilities, even
if it means certain areas—particularly rural communities—will not receive the protective
attention they need.

Whenever our community comes together for events like festivals, sports games, or local celebrations, we’re there if requested.

We provide on-site standby medical services, offering peace of mind to organizers and attendees alike, knowing that medical help is available if needed. We also support the vulnerable communities in our area because they are our neighbors as well. In addition to urban and rural medical services, we are equipped to handle wilderness rescue situations, working in close coordination with other local, state, and federal agencies when necessary.

Our services are offered free of charge to event organizers, though we welcome donations. We believe that emergency care shouldn’t be a potential financial burden and we don’t request or accept payment from our patients. We are supported through donations, local funding, and fundraising efforts that help us continue to serve our community.

We’re not just here for urgent situations or standby services — we also want to empower our community with life-saving skills. We offer free training and certification programs, such as CPR, Basic Life Support (BLS), “Stop the Bleed,” and general First Aid courses. By providing this education, we help others be prepared to respond to medical emergencies.

We are passionate about our community’s safety and well-being. Every one of us volunteers because we care deeply about making a difference in the lives of those around us. Whether it’s teaching CPR to a neighbor, or standing by at a local event, we are always ready to lend a hand.

At the heart of our service is a commitment to protect and care for our community. We are proud to provide professional, compassionate, and reliable emergency medical services—at no cost to those we serve.

We’re here to help, because this is our community too.
