Overview
Our mission is to improve patient outcomes, drive innovation
in emergency medical services, and uphold the highest standards of care for our
community. OMD oversees eight of the agencies delivering emergency medical services to residents and visitors of Orange County. Additionally, we
coordinate disaster health services for the community and regional healthcare
systems during both natural and man-made emergencies. In partnership with
DOH-Orange and other local organizations, we ensure support for individuals with
special needs during declared emergencies. OMD also engages in emergency
preparedness drills throughout the year to ensure Orange County is equipped to
handle all potential hazards.
