3. Jackson County Hospital District Emergency Medical Service The Jackson County Hospital District Emergency Medical Service (JCHD EMS) operates 3 Mobile Intensive Care Units (MICU) ambulances to serve the citizens of Jackson County. Working with other responders in the district, the JCHD EMS mission is to provide professional, state-of-the-art pre-hospital care with an emphasis on customer service. JCHD EMS respects the rights of our patients to make decisions about what facility they will be transported to. We are able to transport patients directly to one of several area hospitals. Sometimes the severity of illness or injury may indicate a need for a higher level of care not available at all area hospitals. Many patients do not have a current list of their medications available. Gathering the pill bottles provides guidance to the hospital on what kind of medical problems that the patient may have, and ensures that the patient is not given a medication that may react to current prescriptions. It is also important for the bottles to accompany the patient so that the emergency room staff has them at their immediate availability.
