Since 1980, Central EMS has been one of the leading Ambulance Services in Northwest Arkansas. We continue our commitment to providing the highest level of emergency medical care and transportation possible. Today we are the only National Academy of Emergency Dispatch Accredited 911 center in the state providing quality emergency medical instruction to callers before emergency crews arrive on scene. 

On January 1, 2009 Central EMS transitioned from a 501(c)3 non-profit to a quasi-governmental organization forming the Washington County Regional Ambulance Authority.  Central EMS is now owned and operated by the communities we serve through an Inter-Local Agreement for Ambulance Service.
