Greenwich Emergency Medical Service (GEMS) is governed by a Board of Directors composed of dedicated Greenwich citizens and officials. Representing a diverse cross-section of the community, including leaders from town boards, the medical field, local corporations, Greenwich Hospital, and volunteer organizations, the Board ensures GEMS remains a leader in emergency medical care.
The Board of Directors is entrusted with the strategic guidance, oversight, and support necessary to maintain and enhance the exceptional services provided by GEMS. Key responsibilities include:
Officers of the Board:
Ex Officio:
The Board comprises 15 to 30 voting members who bring expertise in business, finance, fundraising, public safety, healthcare, and emergency services. Ex-Officio non-voting members include representatives from the Town of Greenwich, Greenwich Hospital, and the Department of Health.
The Board meets at least four times annually, including an annual meeting in July, to review and guide GEMS’ initiatives. Committees such as Executive, Budget and Finance, Nominating, and Audit play essential roles in governance and operations, ensuring accountability and strategic planning.
Every Board member contributes to advancing GEMS’ core mission: to provide exceptional emergency medical services and ensure the well-being of the Greenwich community. Together, we can continue to lead, innovate, and save lives.
