In the last 12 months, Odessa Emergency Medical Services responded to 14,663 emergencies. Emergency ambulance service can be expensive, costing more than $500 per patient. But an EMS Lifeline membership means that you don't have to worry about an ambulance bill. Odessa Assistant Fire Chief John Alvarez explains.
EMS Lifeline can protect your entire family. It costs $6.00 per month - billed to your water bill, or $59.00 in a one-time annual payment - which would save $13.00.
You can make checks or money order payable to:
"EMS Lifeline" and mail to:
EMS LIFELINE
Odessa Fire Department
P.O. Box 4398
Odessa, Texas 79760
Organizers say your membership costs go directly into improving the Odessa Fire Department's Fire and Medical Services.
