🚑 A Friendly Note to Our Upper Chichester Neighbors

We’ve gotten quite a few questions lately about letters from the Aston Ambulance Authority, so we wanted to help clear up some confusion.

If you live in Upper Chichester Township, those letters do not apply to you.

These bills were not sent by our township. Unfortunately, some Upper Chichester residents received them in error because several neighboring municipalities share the same ZIP code. We know that understandably caused some confusion, so we wanted to set the record straight.

Upper Chichester residents are not required to pay any membership, subscription, annual fee etc to the Aston Ambulance Authority or any other entity for EMS services.

While you may occasionally see an Aston ambulance in town through mutual aid (just as we respond into neighboring communities when they’re busy), Boothwyn EMS remains Upper Chichester Township’s primary Advanced Life Support provider. We’ve proudly served this community for decades, and we’re honored to continue doing so every day.

Here’s what your local EMS provides:
❤️ 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year ALS coverage
🚑 A transport-capable Mobile Intensive Care Unit staffed and ready to respond
🏡 A locally focused, nonprofit EMS system built around the needs of Upper Chichester- not membership quotas or annual subscription fees.

And perhaps the best part—our model is simple.

There are no mandatory authority annual fees or subscription bills just for residing in Upper Chichester township. If you never need an ambulance, you never receive a bill from us. If you do need our services, we bill your insurance first, and that’s when billing occurs—just like virtually every other healthcare service.

For neighbors who would like to support their hometown EMS even further, we do offer an optional community membership. Membership helps cover potential balance billing after insurance and, more importantly, helps us continue investing in the equipment, training, and personnel that keep our community safe. It’s completely voluntary, and every membership directly supports the EMS service protecting Upper Chichester.

Thank you for trusting us to care for your families, friends, neighbors, and visitors. We’re proud to call Upper Chichester home.

As EMS Week comes to a close we want to take time to recognize the incredible staff we have here at Upper Chichester EMS.

We are blessed to have some of the best and brightest running our trucks.

Over this last quarter we have had incredible life saves on pts who suffered Cardiac Arrests in the field and have since been discharged and are now home with their families thanks to the care provided in the pre-hospital setting.

We have also had multiple Life Giving calls this year in which successful child birth has been performed in the field with outstanding outcomes for both the mother and baby.

There have also been countless calls that would have resulted in extremely poor outcomes for patients had it not been for immediate intervention by our crews.

Also as many of you were able to join in on the fun, last week we held our first annual Upper Chichester Health and Safety Fair. The efforts by Eilís Rae Anne, Alexis Visco, Angie Wilson, Hannah Tully, and so many others behind the scenes making a massive success! We cant wait for many more in the years to come.

Please take this time to thank your local EMS providers as we are so lucky to have the incredible crews that we have.

Many providers not pictured due to them responding to calls at time of pictures being taken

Also want to take time to recognize all ems providers that assist us in surrounding townships and world wide as this is a demanding and sometimes thankless job that takes a great person to do.

A Quick Note for Our Upper Chichester Neighbors

Some of you may have received a postcard from the Aston Ambulance Authority. We wanted to clear things up: that postcard doesn't apply to Upper Chichester residents.

You might see an AAA unit in the township from time to time through mutual aid, the same way we help neighboring agencies during busy times.

But Boothwyn EMS is your primary ambulance service. We've been here for decades, and we're here to stay. Here's what that means for you:

Non-profit, sustainable EMS model, built around the needs of our community
24/7/365 Advanced Life Support coverage
A transport-capable Mobile Intensive Care Unit staffed and ready
And our model keeps things simple: no yearly fees, no surprise charges. You only receive a bill if you use our services, and we always bill your insurance first.

We're proud to serve over 17,000 residents and the local businesses that call Upper Chichester home.

If you'd like to go the extra mile in supporting your local EMS, memberships are available to help cover any balance billing (the gap between the ambulance cost and what insurance pays). Every membership strengthens the service we can provide to our community.

🌟 DELCO GIVES IS HERE! 🌟

🚑 Help Us Keep Life-Saving Care on the Road
Every day, our team at Boothwyn Fire Company Ambulance responds to emergencies in our community - providing critical, life-saving care when seconds matter most. Last year our dedicated career Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians responded to over 3,300 calls for help.

• $25 helps keep our station and vehicles clean and disinfected
• $50 helps to pay for training classes
• $75 helps stock essential medical supplies
• $100+ helps maintain life-saving equipment
