The state of Florida emergency medical services (EMS) county grant program has started again, and
the needed new information is at the state EMS website at the following Internet address.
Emergency Medical Services Grants | Florida Department of Health
(floridahealth.gov)
At the web site you will need to scroll down past the current matching grant information to “County
Government EMS Grants 2021-2022”. (Later this year we will provide the new matching grant
application material.)
At your option, you may have two of these grants active at the same time or wait until your current
grant of this type ends and then obtain the new grant.
For your information I have attached an image of the new county grant site, but of course the links
are only functional at the site itself.
This county grant program is 64.005 in the Florida Catalog of State Financial Assistance (CSFA) and is
required by 401.113 (2) (a), Florida Statutes.
