The Board consists of the County Administrator, Ocala City Manager, The CEO of Ocala Regional Medical Center, CEO of Monroe Regional Medical Center, and the President of Central Florida Community College. Prior to the formation of the alliance, the Emergency Medical Services for Marion County were provided by Munroe Regional Hospital. Ocala Fire-Rescue and Marion County Fire-Rescue respond along with EMSA on certain types of calls, providing first-response Advanced Life Support on critical patients and extrication on automobile accidents. Marion County Fire-Rescue also has 4 transport vehicles to handle calls in the rural areas, including three in the Ocala National Forest. EMSA is dispatched by their own communicators operating out of the Marion County Sheriff's Office PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point). 911 calls are answered by Marion County Sheriff's Office, and then transferred to an EMSA calltaker who then enters the call into the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System. Another dispatcher notifies the closest ambulance via radio while the calltaker gives pre-arrival medical instructions to the caller if needed.
