Taos Ski Valley Emergency Medical Service (TSVEMS) is a volunteer organization that was formed July 1^st, 2000.  Before TSVEMS was formed, all emergencies outside the hours of the medical clinic had to wait approximately 40 minutes or more for the ambulance to arrive before any care was available.  TSVEMS responders are available 24/7 by calling 911.  Central Dispatch in Taos notifies us by radio that there us an emergency and an ambulance is automatically sent from Taos.  We are a non-transport service, however we have a new, fully equipped vehicle used to respond to calls.  The winning entry in the contest to name the vehicle was "Totemoff".   

Dr. Quigley Peterson, who runs the Mogul Medical Clinic here in Taos Ski Valley, is the Medical Director,  Birgit Dowell is the EMS Director, Kathy Bennett is the Training Coordinator, and  Mary Mortimer is the Inventory/Maintenance Supervisor.  There are currently 17 active members that have gone through extensive training to be part of this system

We respond to everything from altitude sickness to a heart attack, and from a fall off a roof to an injured hiker.   As more people become aware of TSVEMS, we will continue to get busier.

TSVEMS has meetings the first Tuesday of every month at 5:00 p.m. at Sierra Del Sol Condominiums.  Anyone wishing to join or anyone just interested in seeing what we are all about is welcome to attend.
