This makes the region the Commonwealth's largest planning district, geographically speaking, and fifth largest in terms of population. The 65 member EMS agencies are a mix of non-profit, government and private, for-profit services with a mixture of both paid and volunteer staff.

Council funding is largely based upon a contract with the Virginia Department of Health's Virginia Office of EMS for those services provided to the region that fall within their statewide plan and role. Other funding comes from the Council's American Heart Association Community Training Center which provides First Aid, CPR and AED training to the local community as well as oversight of a large AHA CPR Instructor based which stretches from the Northern Shenandoah Valley to Roanoke and Danville in the south and over the mountain into Albemarle, Charlottesville, Green and Madison counties.

Established in 1979, the Council has provide facilitation for regional planning and implementation of the regional EMS system in the Central Shenandoah Valley for over 38 years.
