The first Ambulance Service operating in Murray- Calloway was Mercy Professional Ambulance. During this time the service only offered Basic Life Support. York realized that the service as a private entity could not keep up with the demands of a growing community. So he sold the Certificate of Need to Murray- Calloway County Hospital. The new name of the service was Murray-Calloway County Hospital- Ambulance Service. The service began operating under the new name on January 1st, 1980. As times changed and the need for higher advanced care in the prehospital setting, the service began operating as an Advanced Life Support agency on a ‘part time ‘basis. They soon realized that this concept was not benefiting the citizens of Calloway County and the Director; Jerry Gorrel began teaching paramedic Programs at the Hospital to move the department into a full time ability of ALS 24/7. In 1988 the service instituted a 24 hour per day/7 days a week with ALS coverage. Today, Murray- Calloway County EMS is owned and operated by Murray-Calloway County Hospital. The service is responsible for all Emergency and Non-Emergency request inside Calloway County. In addition, the service is responsible for all interfacility transfers originating from Murray-Calloway County Hospital. Murray-Calloway County EMS is a not for profit charitable organization.
