Providing the best service to the community is one of Cumberland Goodwill’s core values, which is why we service the greater Carlisle area with services for patients as they leave UPMC Carlisle. Most frequently, we provide transportation between hospitals and a return to home or a residential facility after a hospital visit.
Our stand-by services are designed for large-scale events. In the past, these have included street fairs, performances, sporting events, and other community celebrations. An ambulance crew can be dedicated to your event to make sure attendees stay safe and receive expert medical care. We occasionally provide coverage for area events, festivals, athletic competitions, and much more. If you are unsure about what level of service is necessary for your activity, do not hesitate to reach out!

Cumberland Goodwill Emergency Medical Services is most often associated with the ambulances responding to emergencies around the Carlisle area. What you may not know about is our Community Health program. Similar to how firefighters promote smoke alarms to prevent fires, Cumberland Goodwill has designed several programs to help reduce preventable trips to the hospital and prepare the community to respond to any emergency.
Our agency has programs to help solve frequent 911 calls from patients. We partner with local hospitals to follow patients who may need a little extra care at home. We also are active promoting health and safety topics through a variety of different outreach and media programs.We're also a proud partner in the Cumberland County 4-Minute City initiative, which aims to reduce deaths from sudden cardiac arrest by building a robust response community of citizen-volunteers.
