Middlebury was without an emergency medical response service until 1970, when a group of passionate community members, led by George "Wedge" Murdoch, took action. With training and support from local physicians and the Red Cross, as well as a donated hearse converted to an ambulance, the Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association (MVAA) was established.

While our name may have evolved, Middlebury Regional EMS still shares the same devotion to our community as the MVAA of old. We pride ourselves on being one of the most progressive EMS agencies in the region and will continue to provide expert medical, rescue, and patient transfer services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
