The North Egypt E.M.S. System was established in 1979 and serves Jefferson, Marion, Franklin,Washington, Perry, and Saline County.

Region VIII, a busy, state-defined EMS region west of downtown Chicago. Good Samaritan in Downers Grove

Christ Hospital McHenry and southern Lake county are assigned MED channels as follows: PRIMARY: 7 TERTIARY: 6 SECONDARY: 5 ITINERANT OR COMMON: 8

All Chicago Hospitals are on a repeater. Telemetry hospitals are divided into 3 sections. North, Central, South. The North PL's are all 156.7, Central PL's 146.2, South PL's 173.8. In each region, all operations are run by Resource Hospitals Associate Hospitals function underneath Resource Hospitals. Multi-Victim incidents, EMS Plans are to be called into Resource Hospitals, while most other runs can be called into Associate Hospitals. We do have assigned Hospitals we are supposed to call, but we don't follow that always for various reasons. Med 8 is not repeatered on any systems.

FYI... It is NOT neccesary to monitor the input frequency of any MED frequency, they are all on Repeaters
