The City of Longview through the Emergency Medical Services provided by the Fire Department is committed to providing quality, affordable emergency ambulance care as a service to all residents of Longview. Since 2009, the Longview Fire Department has offered an EMS Subscription Program to Longview residents in an attempt to help offset the rising cost of out-of-pocket medical expenses. With the typical cost associated with EMS transports averaging $800 - $1000 per response, the program limits any out-of-pocket EMS expenses to $70/year. The single fee covers those - who are eligible - living in the subscribed household. Enrollment and renewal periods for the EMS Subscription Program run from Oct. 1 – Dec. 31 for the subsequent year. This subscription program is an optional plan that is available to all citizens except Medicaid recipients of our community.

The City of Longview is seeking input for the design of a prominent welcome monument that will be installed along a southern Longview entryway. The city will host a second public meeting to discuss two options for the monument at the intersection of High Street, Mobberly Avenue, and Estes Parkway. In an earlier public meeting the city presented various themes and gathered input for the monument development. The monument is being added as a part of a planned reconfiguration of the intersection approved by the 2018 bond package. The effort is a key element of the Longview Comprehensive Plan, which calls for the improvement of the city’s southern entryways from Interstate 20 North towards Downtown. The public meeting will be held from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm, Monday, October 7, 2019, in the Allen Room at the LeTourneau University Belcher Center, 2100 S. Mobberly Ave. The public is invited to attend and provide comments and suggestions. If you have any questions, please contact 903 237-107

STOP the BLEED is national campaign led by the federal government to better prepare the public to save lives. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding, within 5 to 10 minutes, so the campaign raises awareness of basic actions to stop life threatening bleeding following everyday emergencies and man-made and natural disasters. Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR, the idea is that the public must learn proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings, and tourniquets.
