Overview

Mission

The purpose of the organization is to: facilitate the delivery of emergency care within springfield & neighboring areas; attend fires or other disasters; & when appropriate, work with the springfield fire company.

What it reported doing in 2024

All of the monies we receive and spend are used to support our primary purpose of providing 24 hour, year round emergency basic life support service along with advanced life support (paramedic) intercept service, as necesary, to our community and surrounding communities. Our major costs are for ambulances we have purchased and maintain, litters, patient moving equipment, electronic equipment and a long list of medical supplies. Springfield ambulance corps contracts with local hospitals to provide advanced life support intercept service for situations that exceed basic life support needs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 66% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
