Primarily an emergency medical service, CCEMS has evolved its services to meet the needs of its community. Cabell County EMS provides specialty services to its community through critical care interfacility transports, BLS take home transports, the Disaster Immediate Response Team, EMS Bike Team, and Special Event coverage. All of these services are wrapped into one organization, Cabell County EMS. Our goal is to serve our community in their time of need.
