OUR PARTNERS
Milam County Emergency Services District No. 1 is committed to ensuring residents across the county have access
to timely, high quality emergency medical care. To meet this mission, the District contracts with Allegiance Mobile
Health for ground ambulance coverage and participates in the PHI Cares Membership Program to provide air
medical benefits to every resident of Milam County.
OUR GROUND AMBULANCE PARTNER
Milam County Emergency Services District No. 1 partners with Allegiance Mobile Health, one of the largest
private emergency medical service providers in Texas, to deliver emergency medical responses across the county.
Under this contract, Allegiance operates five mobile intensive care unit level ambulances, all staffed with licensed
paramedics and equipped to handle critical, life threatening emergencies.
MICU level ambulances carry advanced equipment and medications beyond basic life support. They are designed
to stabilize patients during transport, particularly in rural areas where longer drive times may occur. By staffing all
ambulances at the MICU level, Allegiance and the District ensure that the highest level of prehospital care is
available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
These units are strategically located throughout the county to reduce response times and ensure adequate coverage
across both municipalities and unincorporated areas. Allegiance also provides additional support through dispatch
coordination, quality assurance programs, and integration with local fire departments and first responders.
OUR AIR MEDICAL PARTNER
Milam County Emergency Services District No. 1 provides PHI Cares Membership to all residents of Milam County through its contract with PHI Air Medical. PHI operates emergency helicopters staffed with flight paramedics and flight nurses trained in advanced trauma and critical care transport.
The PHI Cares Membership program ensures that if a Milam County resident ever requires air transport by a PHI
helicopter, the cost is fully covered, with no out of pocket expense to the patient beyond any applicable insurance
payment. This eliminates the financial burden that often comes with emergency air transport, which can otherwise
cost tens of thousands of dollars.
These programs are part of the District’s broader effort to modernize and stabilize the emergency medical system
in the region. By contracting with proven providers and investing in both ground and air transport infrastructure,
the District ensures that no resident is left without access to high quality care, regardless of where they live in the
county.
As Milam County continues to grow and change, the District remains focused on strengthening emergency
response systems and advocating for the health and safety of every resident.
