The mission of the Department of Health and the Office of Emergency Medical Services is to promote, protect and enhance the health of all Wyoming citizens.

The Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS), located within the Wyoming Department of Health provides over site to a variety of programs.

The OEMS is responsible for enhancing the statewide Emergency Medical Services system which is designed to reduce the number of deaths in the pre-hospital phase and the severity of critical injuries and illnesses during a medical emergency where time and care make a difference.

The OEMS is charged with maintaining the statewide emergency medical services system; development, implementation and maintaining of the statewide trauma system; and assuring that Wyoming has a poison center that will provide immediate and correct treatment and information on poisonings.
