NorthStar EMS serves White County, Arkansas. Ambulance stations are located in Beebe, Heber Springs, Bald Knob and three locations in Searcy. Although the service in each county operates as separate units, they are able to provide backup service to one another as a regional unit.

The Searcy service operates under a non-exclusive franchise awarded by the City of Searcy. Along with the main station, a sub-station is located on the West end of the city to reduce response times in Western Searcy and White County. An additional sub-station has since been added at the South Campus of White County Medical Center, to better serve the city, as well as to provide rapid response to the patients at the WCMC South Campus.

The Beebe unit was originally based in the Beebe Fire Department, Main Station. In March 2006, we built a new station at 808 McAfee Medical Circle that houses a crew, their primary ambulance, and a back up ambulance. By having a station in Beebe, response times in the Southern part of White County are reduced by 15-30 minutes.

In Bald Knob, we currently station a unit in the former Bald Knob Volunteer Ambulance Building. This station was opened in early 2015 in cooperation with the City of Bald Knob when their volunteer EMS decided to become a First Responder service only. It has been a great benefit to the City of Bald Knob and the northern part of White County.
