About VMSC Emergency Medical Services

VMSC Emergency Medical Services is a nonprofit EMS organization dedicated to making a difference one day, one call, one life at a time. Founded in 1933 by Dr. Frank Boston, a pioneering physician and veteran, VMSC has grown into one of Pennsylvania’s leading providers of mobile healthcare.

Our purpose is to deliver comprehensive mobile health services and innovative pre-hospital care to the communities of the Delaware Valley. We proudly serve Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Delaware Counties through emergency response, interfacility transport, mobile integrated healthcare, and community paramedicine. Beyond responding to emergencies, we are expanding the scope of EMS by providing preventive and primary care services, community health education, and continuous professional development for our personnel—ensuring that we meet the evolving healthcare needs of the populations we serve.

At VMSC, our people are our strength. Guided by our values of Loyalty, Humanity, and Mercy, we foster a culture where providers are supported, careers are developed, and every team member has the opportunity to make a lasting impact. Joining VMSC means becoming part of an innovative, compassionate team that is redefining what mobile healthcare looks like today and for the future.

VMSC Emergency Medical Services is redefining what it means to be a nurse outside the walls of the hospital. We bring the resources of EMS, acute care, and innovation together to create a new way of delivering advanced medical care directly in the community. Our teams work on cutting-edge programs like hospital-at-home, mobile integrated healthcare, post-discharge stabilization, and rapid response for urgent-but-not-emergent situations.

As a Registered Nurse on our Community-Based Care Team, you’ll practice high-level nursing in an environment that values your full skill set. You’ll function as a single provider in the field—delivering both pre-scheduled visits and acute-response care in patients’ homes. This role combines the acuity of emergency and critical care nursing with the time to provide meaningful, patient-centered care where it matters most.

And this is only the start. At VMSC, we’ll support your growth into new areas of practice, including assisting you in obtaining your Pre-Hospital Registered Nurse (PHRN) certification so you can expand into advanced EMS and critical care roles.
