The New York City Regional Emergency Medical Services Council (NYC REMSCO) is a central coordinating body that governs the delivery of emergency medical services across the five boroughs of New York City. Operating within the public safety sector, NYC REMSCO is tasked with planning, evaluating, and promoting high-quality emergency medical care through regulatory oversight and collaboration with EMS agencies, hospitals, and first responders. They play a pivotal role in the certification, education, and ongoing support of EMS personnel to ensure readiness in times of crisis.

NYC REMSCO supports the development and implementation of regional EMS protocols, manages ambulance service designations, and facilitates communication between emergency services and healthcare providers. The council is instrumental in emergency preparedness initiatives, often working as a liaison between city, state, and federal agencies to strengthen public health and safety infrastructure.

Known for its community-driven approach, NYC REMSCO also provides public educational resources and advocates for system enhancements that improve patient outcomes. As part of the broader New York State EMS system, NYC REMSCO serves as a vital hub for coordination, quality assurance, and service excellence in emergency medical response.
