Does Preferred EMS serve Tomball?
Yes. Old Town Tomball, Rosehill and the neighborhoods along FM 2920 and the Grand Parkway are covered for BLS, ALS and MICU trips. Hospitals, senior living communities, rehab units and families all use the same 24/7 line.

How do I arrange a Tomball ambulance transport?
Call (713) 791-9000 or submit the online request. Give the pickup point, where the patient is headed, the level of care if known and when, and dispatch confirms the plan with you.
What should a Tomball caller gather first?
The pickup address in or near Tomball, the destination, the level (BLS, ALS or MICU) if you know it, the date and time, and your name and phone number. Keep diagnoses, medical records and insurance IDs out of the online request form; Dispatch will ask for other details on the phone.
