In February 2009, the Regional Paramedic Program for Eastern Ontario was created, combining the best of both the Ottawa and Kingston Base Hospitals. They provide medical direction, education and advice to paramedics and paramedic services in nine upper-tier municipalities across Eastern Ontario.
The communities served by the Regional Paramedic Program for Eastern Ontario are Prescott-Russell, Cornwall, Ottawa, The County of Renfrew, Lanark County, Leeds and Grenville, Lennox and Addington, Hastings County, Prince Edward County and Frontenac County. Combined, this includes nine paramedic services and more than 1200 Paramedics, both Primary Care (PCP) and Advanced Care Paramedics (ACP).
