OUR PROVIDERS
Community is at the heart of NEHA's service model. Since its inception, the Northeast Harbor Fire Company (and later the Northeast Harbor Ambulance Service) have relied heavily on a volunteer workforce. Every year, dozens of community members volunteer hundreds of hours in both emergency response, training, and other activities. These volunteer EMS providers are often summonsed away from work, family, or sleep to respond to emergencies in our community at a moment's notice. In recent years, there has been a nationwide trend of decreasing volunteerism, a trend that has affected the NEHA workforce. In response, NEHA has begun staffing one EMS provider on a 24/7 basis to enhance rapid response. Today, our staff represents a combination of paged-out volunteers and Per-Diem staff.
