Pecos Valley Public Services is a 501(c)(3) volunteer driven community EMS agency. We are a new kind of Emergency Medical Service. Unlike traditional EMS and community paramedicine services, our community EMS adopts a “protective” approach to out-of-hospital care. This means we typically do not respond to emergency medical calls. Instead, we embed ourselves in community events, with a special focus on vulnerable groups such as the unhoused and elderly. In addition, we offer training programs (CPR, AED, Stop The Bleed) and conduct “pop-ups” at popular locations to educate the public on preventable medical issues that could otherwise escalate into life-threatening and costly emergencies.

We are a fully state licensed EMS agency. But we’re not a big organization. We’re not government-funded. We’re not polished or perfect. We’re a group of volunteers with medical licenses, training, and a deep love for our community—doing our best, every single day, to help the people around us.

We’re out there on night patrols during inclement weather. We provide medical standby at community events. We respond to non-emergency calls, help people get medical supplies, hold their hands when they’re in pain, and calm them when everything feels like it’s falling apart. Our training programs – such as CPR/AED, First Aid, and Stop the Bleed—are available to anyone who wants it.

Our agency provided hundreds of hours of desperately needed medical services at refugee shelters during the Ruidoso fires and the Roswell floods —services no other organization was providing in those first, crucial days. We did not receive a single dollar in funding for our efforts.

We are passionate about our community’s safety and well-being. Every one of us volunteers because we care deeply about making a difference in the lives of those around us. Whether it’s teaching CPR to a neighbor, helping a patient with a medical situation or standing by at a local event, we are always ready to lend a hand.

At the heart of our service is a commitment to protect and care for our community. We are proud to provide professional, compassionate, and reliable emergency medical services—at no cost to those we serve.

We’re here to help, because this is our community too.
