About Dove Creek Ambulance District
Dove Creek Ambulance District (DCAD) is the only 24-hour, paid Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provider in Dolores County, Colorado. Established to deliver emergency transport services to the community, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of pre-hospital care. Our team is staffed by a group of highly trained professionals, including paramedics, Advanced EMTs, and EMTs who are available around the clock to respond to medical emergencies, accidents, and other critical incidents.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to quality, with over 52 years of combined paramedic experience on staff. Our service operates primarily from a state-of-the-art 2017 Ford F450 Type I ambulance, which ensures reliable response in any situation. We also aim to adapt and innovate, working on projects such as acquiring an EMS QRV vehicle for educational purposes and as a chase car for on-call staff.
As an integral part of the Dove Creek community, we offer a variety of services beyond emergency transport, including standby services for sports events, firefighting operations, and law enforcement activities. In addition, we are constantly seeking volunteers to support various aspects of our operations, from auxiliary services to direct patient care.
