Minute Matters

Our EMS team delivers skilled, around-the-clock emergency care and ambulance response to the Tule River and Porterville communities.

We’re Ready to Help—Anytime, Day or Night

If you or a loved one has a medical emergency, our Emergency Medical Services (EMS) team is here to help—day or night. We provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) coverage across the Tule River Reservation and Porterville area, with paramedics and EMTs trained to deliver high-quality, compassionate care when it matters most.

Always Prepared to Respond

Our ambulances and EMS units are equipped for both medical emergencies and community response. The team coordinates through Tulare County Consolidated Ambulance Dispatch (TCAD) to ensure rapid communication and deployment.

If you experience a medical emergency on the Tule River Reservation, call 911 for immediate assistance. Dispatchers will provide pre-arrival instructions and send the nearest available EMS unit to your location.
