Strong work by Morgan County Ambulance Service - MCAS and Children's One flight team!

🚑🚁 PARTNERS IN CARE — FROM MORGAN COUNTY TO CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL COLORADO 🚁🚑

In emergency medicine, teamwork doesn’t stop at county lines — it extends to every partner who helps ensure patients receive the right care, at the right place, at the right time.

Morgan County Ambulance Service is proud to work alongside the Children’s Hospital Colorado One Flight Team, a highly specialized critical care transport program dedicated to caring for our youngest and most vulnerable patients.

When a child in our community needs advanced pediatric or neonatal care beyond what can be provided locally, the One Flight Team becomes an essential extension of our response. Their crews bring advanced training, specialized equipment, and pediatric expertise directly to the scene or rendezvous point — allowing for seamless transitions of care and the safest possible transport to definitive treatment.

💙 This partnership represents what EMS is all about:
✔️ Collaboration between agencies
✔️ Advanced, coordinated patient care
✔️ Rapid access to specialized resources
✔️ Putting patients and families

Behind every photo like this is a coordinated effort — dispatchers managing communications, local crews stabilizing patients, flight teams preparing for transport, and healthcare professionals working together with one shared goal: giving patients the best chance at a positive outcome.

We are incredibly grateful for our ongoing partnership with Children’s Hospital Colorado One Flight and for the trust our community places in us every day.

Together, we bridge the gap between rural emergency care and world-class pediatric medicine.

❤️ Serving Morgan County — together.

We are pleased to announce that Prowers Medical Center have been verified as COPPER Pediatric Advanced!

🏅 Prowers Medical Center is Officially COPPER Verified – Pediatric Advanced

We are proud to announce that Prowers Medical Center has been recognized through Colorado EMSC’s COPPER program as Pediatric Advanced, the highest tier of pediatric readiness recognition in Colorado!

So what does COPPER certification mean?

COPPER (Colorado Pediatric Preparedness for the Emergency Room) verifies that hospitals are equipped, trained, and committed to providing the highest level of emergency care for children. This recognition reflects extensive training, pediatric-specific equipment, quality improvement measures, and collaboration across departments to ensure children receive safe, specialized care when they need it most.

From advanced pediatric life support certifications and neonatal readiness to standardized pediatric resuscitation equipment and ongoing pediatric-focused education, this achievement represents the hard work of our entire team and a strong commitment from hospital leadership.

Most importantly, it means families in our community can trust that we are prepared to care for their children with the highest standards of safety and readiness.

Congratulations to our team for earning this designation and for your dedication to the children of Prowers County.
