EMS Coverage Update for Our Community
You may have heard that LNHARS has been designated to provide primary EMS coverage in East Amwell Township.
Here is what that means in plain English:
• This is not new. We have already been responding to many East Amwell calls for a long time
• Our coverage in Lambertville, New Hope, and surrounding areas is not changing
• We are staffed 24/7 and continue to respond across our entire service area
• If multiple emergencies happen at once, we work with mutual aid partners, just like every EMS system does
About billing:
We do bill for services. This helps support staffing, equipment, and keeping ambulances on the road.
Not every 911 call results in a bill, and every situation is different. In many cases, insurance, including Medicare and supplemental plans, may cover a portion or all of the cost.
If you ever have questions or concerns about billing, you can contact us directly. We will always take the time to talk it through with you.
Our priority is simple:
When you call 911, an ambulance responds.
We are proud to continue serving all of our communities with reliable, professional emergency care.
