REMSA currently holds five accreditations across all major service lines in the organization.
Accreditations are the backbone of quality and safety throughout the organization and represent REMSA’s commitment to meeting national and international standards. These standards ensure the highest quality of service for our patients, students, and community. Our accreditations include our ground, air and education services as well as our communications center and the REMSA nurse health line.

Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services
Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) accreditation signifies that your service has met the “gold standard” determined by the ambulance industry to be essential in a modern emergency medical services provider. These standards often exceed those established by state or local regulation.
