About ESD #2

    Hill County Emergency Services District #2 is a political subdivision of the State of Texas.  Voters in Hill County approved the formation of Hill County ESD#2 for the purpose of providing emergency medical service to residents of the  District.  Hill County ESD#2 covers all residents of the county who reside outside the city limits and ETJs of the cities of Hillsboro and Whitney.


    Hill County ESD#2 is funded through a property tax of $.037783 per $100 valuation, and a sales tax  that ranges from 1/2 cent - 1 cent depending on location.


    Hill County ESD#2 contracts with CareFlite to provide both ground and air emergency medical service.

There are currently four ground ambulances stationed in the county which are available 24/7.  They are stationed  at Whitney, Itasca, Hillsboro and Hubbard.  Another ambulance is on call during daylight hours and is on station at Covington.  In addition to the ground units, CareFlite maintains a rotary wing air ambulance on station at our Whitney base.  


  ESD#2 HAS RECENTLY COMPLETED A NEW AMBULANCE STATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE LOCATED AT 201 S. OUTLET DR. IN HILLSBORO.



Every resident of ESD #2 receives the following benefits paid for by the ESD #2:

  • Caring Heart Ground and Air membership – ESD #2 pays a yearly membership of $67,500 on behalf of ESD #2 residents. This allows residents of the District to utilize CareFlite’s emergency medical services at no cost to the resident.  Residents with insurance do not receive a bill for ems services, while residents without health insurance are only billed 50% of the original charges. The membership also covers residents wherever CareFlite is located, not just in Hill County. For more information on Caring Heart coverage, visit https://careflite.org/membership
  •  A IREVAC (AIRMEDCARE NETWORK) - ESD#2 pays a yearly membership fee of $60,000 on behalf of ESD#2 residents. This allows residents who are insured to utilize AIREVACS emergency medical air transport services with no out-of-pocket expenses to the resident if the pickup location is in Hill County or adjacent counties. If the Participant is uninsured at the time of transport, AIREVAC will bill the Participant at the “Medicare Allowable Rate”. Uninsured residents are eligible to upgrade their household membership and have no out-of-pocket expenses related to the transport. Upgraded household memberships are available for a discounted annual fee of $55, or $45 for senior citizens 60 and older. This extends coverage to all AMCN participating providers located in over 320 locations across 38 states.
