For the past 50 years, Highland EMS Volunteers have provided dedication and selflessness to serve the Highland Village and Surrounding Area. This is your current active roster who currently care for your family, friends and neighbors with courage to do things they never thought possible; they respond at all hours of the day and night and have committed to the community in a way that many find hard to comprehend. We appreciate the continued support we receive from family, friends and our communities as we provide care to you. *I apologize for any mistakes or omissions.
