Membership & Donations
Why a Membership?
1. Save Money: You shouldn’t have to make life and death decisions based on money. One ambulance ride could cost upwards of $3,000. With a payment of only $75, a Sierra Ambulance membership can save thousands of dollars and cover your entire household* for a year.
2. No Additional Out-of-Pocket Expenses: By becoming a Sierra Ambulance member, you are protected from any out-of-pocket expenses – even if you are uninsured. Your annual membership fee prepays any deductibles or other portion of the ambulance charge that may not be covered by insurance or Medicare.
3. Supporting and Securing Your Community: Your membership fee goes directly into supporting the Sierra Ambulance Service in our area. This means we can hire highly trained professionals, invest in technologies, and most importantly…we can save hundreds of lives each year. Your Sierra Ambulance membership helps save lives including the ones you love.
4. Top Quality Care: We strive to provide the best care to our community. We are fully committed to providing the highest quality of emergency medical care and transportation. Our team of experienced EMS professionals works with cities, counties, fire departments, hospitals, and government agencies to ensure that patients receive the best service.
5. Excellent Treatment Guaranteed: With or without a Sierra Ambulance membership, you are assured excellent treatment for any emergency situation. Our EMTs and Paramedics are held to the highest standards, receiving rigorous training and education to meet standards.
