EMS and First Responders: Please continue to check our COVID-19 pages in the menu above for state-issued guidance/waivers/advisories/administrative requirements. The STATE of EMERGENCY is over but waivers/policies may have been continued or re-issued. We will make every effort to update you.

All meetings are virtual until further notice.

Governor Baker issued an executive order on 3/12/2020 suspending or altering MGL 30 OPEN MEETING LAW requirements. Legislation to extend these requirements 3/31/25 has been signed by the Governor. Until further notice, the majority of meetings will be virtual on the Zoom platform. Please reach out to us at WMEMS for the link to a scheduled meeting. You must request the link no later than 24 hours pror to the meeting start time. If/When in-person meetings are scheduled we will post the location on our calendar.

We enjoy your visits, however we are unable to invite you into our office space due to restrictions in place by the VNA. We are happy to chat with you in the lobby or out in the fresh air, or by phone!
