A Message from the Executive Director


Welcome to the Valley Emergency Medical Service website.  VEMS strives to be a leader in the communities it serves and we’re happy you’ve come to learn more about us and that effort.  Our field paramedics are some of the finest and most experienced clinicians in the State of Connecticut.  They work side-by-side with the region’s truly talented volunteer EMT’s to ensure that all of our patients are well-cared for.

VEMS paramedics work closely with Griffin Hospital to develop cutting-edge clinical protocols and they are progressive leaders in implementing clinical technology and field interventions.  They put their skills to work for the residents they serve.
In addition to our clinical initiatives throughout the community, we work closely with the Mayors and First Selectmen of our communities to ensure that their residents get the highest level of care available.  We work as partners with local leaders to provide high-level pre-hospital care.

We thank you for your interest in VEMS and we hope to hear from you if you have any questions or if you would like more information about what we do and why we do it.

Sincerely,

Robert Pettinella
Executive Director
