Newtown EMS is a Non-Profit 501 ( c ) 3 organization. Newtown EMS is funded from multiple sources to make up our annual budget: Property Tax revenue through an EMS milage (Newtown Township and Newtown Borough), and under a contracted service agreement with Upper Makefield Township under the terms of that agreement. Municipal funding only comprises 38% of our revenue. We heavily rely on fees from service provided by payments from Commercial Medical Insurance Companies, Auto Insurance Companies, Medicare and Medicaid, and co-pays and deductibles owed by patients for service provided. We also generate fund raising revenue from our annual subscription drive and those residents who voluntarily donate above and beyond our subscription rate.

Newtown EMS has a primary response area of 31 square miles, which includes all of Newtown Township and Newtown Borough, most of Upper Makefield Township, and very small sections in Lower Makefield  Township, Solebury Township, and Wrightstown Township.

If you are having a medical emergency and are in need of Emergency Medical Services, call 911 from any phone.

Monday through Friday, Newtown EMS  staffs 1 ambulance 24/7, and on select Mondays through Thursday a back-up unit is staffed with variable daytime hours. Our Upper Makefield Station is staffed with one ambulance 24/7. During severe weather such as a snow-storm, we may staff additional crews based on need and conditions.

Ambulances in Bucks County are centrally dispatched by the Bucks County Department of Emergency Communications (911 center). This system will automatically dispatch the next closest available unit to your address if Newtown EMS is already on another call.
