With nearly a century of service, we’re redefining emergency care with compassion. Join us: One Day, One Call, One Life at a Time. | Not monitored 24/7.

In emergencies call 911. Questions: 215-855-3779. In October of 1933, the corps revised its Articles of Incorporation and adopted the corporate name used to this day- The Volunteer Medical Service Corps of Lansdale. With the change in name, the corps moved from being a paramilitary organization to one devoted exclusively to emergency medical care and rescue services of the residents of the North Penn Region. Up to 1986, all staffing of ambulance and rescue calls came from Volunteers. However, as the region's population grew the annual volume of calls began to overtax available volunteers. The need for supplemental staffing by career Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians, and office staff. The career staff works in tandem with our dedicated volunteers to staff the ambulances and various specialized rescue vehicles that form the Corps' fleet.

🚑 Way Back Monday takes us back to one of the people who helped build VMSC

Mabel Reed. In 1933, at just 19 years old, Mabel became a charter member of the Volunteer Medical Service Corps. She went on to dedicate nearly 60 years to serving this community as a nurse and leader, including many years as Lieutenant of the Corps. From driving the ambulance and responding to lifesaving rescues to delivering babies along the way, Mabel answered the call wherever she was needed.

Working alongside Dr. Frank Boston for nearly three decades, Mabel helped establish a standard of care and compassion that she continued to uphold after his passing in 1960. Her contributions are woven into VMSC’s history and the generations of care that followed.

Today, we’re putting her story in the spotlight.

Meet Oakley, the newest recruit to VMSC’s K9 Search and Rescue team!

He’s got the confidence, the leashes, and the approval of our four-legged crew. Just one small problem: he’s still a few years away from meeting the age requirement!

Until then, we’re happy to have him as an honorary member of the team.

VMSC EMS Leadership Takes the Stage at the 2026 CODE Conference!

We are proud to recognize VMSC EMS Chief of Staff Jon Detweiler for presenting at the 2026 CODE EMS Conference!

Jon’s session, “Trust First: Building High-Trust EMS Teams That Actually Work,” focused on one of the most important foundations of organizational success: trust.

Through practical leadership strategies and real-world EMS experiences, Jon challenged EMS leaders to look beyond titles and authority, emphasizing the importance of building cohesive teams through trust, accountability, communication, and shared purpose.

At VMSC EMS, we believe developing strong leaders is essential to building a strong organization. Opportunities like the CODE Conference allow us to share our experiences, learn from colleagues across the EMS profession, and contribute to advancing leadership throughout our industry.

Great teams don’t happen by accident. They are built through intentional leadership, one interaction at a time.

Last week, our VMSC crew joined students and staff at E. M. Crouthamel Elementary School in Souderton for First Responder Day! 🚑

Students had an opportunity to meet our team, get a closer look at the ambulance, and learn about the role EMS plays in their community.

These visits help children become more comfortable with first responders and give them space to ask questions and explore. Thank you to everyone at EMC for the warm welcome and a great day of community connection!

A look back at Hatfield Fire Company’s Fire Prevention Week Open House! 🚒🚑

Our VMSC crew enjoyed spending the evening with local families, showcasing our ambulance and paramedic vehicle, and joining our fellow first responders to connect with the community.

From exploring emergency vehicles to meeting the people behind the uniforms, the open house gave visitors a closer look at the teams and equipment serving them every day.

Thank you to Hatfield Fire Company for hosting and to everyone who stopped by to meet our crew!

Even our crew had to put their Operation skills to the test! 🎃🚑

Steady hands, plenty of concentration, and a little friendly competition as our VMSC team took on a familiar patient. From the funny bone to the wishbone, every move came with the pressure of keeping that buzzer quiet.

Of course, there were a few laughs along the way and some teammates keeping a close eye on the technique. Nothing like a classic game to bring out everyone’s competitive side!

Fall events are in full swing, and our VMSC team had a great time connecting with residents, families, and community partners at Franconia Fall Fest! 🍂🚑 From hayrides and a hay maze to local vendors and a candy drop, there was plenty to bring everyone together.

Thank you to Rep. Steve Malagari for stopping by to spend time with our crew and to the Franconia Township Police Benevolent Association for hosting a wonderful community event. We always appreciate the opportunity to meet the people we serve and connect with our fellow first responders.

Our fall calendar is busy, so look for VMSC at more festivals and trunk-or-treats throughout the communities we serve. Stop by, meet our team, and say hello!
