​To better care for the citizens of Newington, the Newington Volunteer Ambulance Corps was founded in 1969. Originally staffed by a handful of people, a converted fire station, and used ambulance, the Corps has served the town of Newington to this day. The corps was renamed Newington Emergency Medical Services in 2015 to better represent the work of our members. 
​
The current roster of 56 people, 4 active ambulances and a staff service vehicle that all work out of our headquarters located behind the Market Square plaza on John H. Stewart Drive.
