🚑❄️ The winter weather may be slowing us down, but Spirit EMS crews are still out on the road this morning—transporting patients safely to Cincinnati, Columbus, and Toledo. We’re seeing plenty of slide-offs and accidents out there, so please drive carefully, give yourself extra time, and remember to turn your headlights on. Stay safe, everyone! 💙

Spirit EMS Report for November 2-8, 2025

Spirit EMS, serving the Houston Joint Ambulance District, responded to five emergency calls between November 2-8, 2025, according to Brian K. Hathaway, President and CEO of the ambulance service. This marks a slight decrease from the previous week, with two fewer calls reported.

All five calls originated within the Houston Joint Ambulance District, which encompasses Loramie and Washington townships and the Village of Lockington, excluding the Village of Russia.

Of the five calls, four resulted patient transports, including two to Upper Valley Medical Center in Troy, one to Lima Memorial Hospital in Lima, and one to Kettering Health Troy. One patient declined transport after being evaluated by EMS personnel on scene.

Spirit EMS was assisted at two scenes by the Russia Fire Department, including one involving an injury accident. Shelby County deputies also responded to help with one medical emergency.

Spirit EMS again successfully responded to 100 percent of its dispatched calls during the week, continuing its commitment to reliable emergency medical service in the area.

A heartfelt thank-you to Senator Jon Husted for taking the time today to meet with Ohio’s Star of Life recipients in his Washington, D.C. office. Senator Husted offered warm congratulations to all honorees—including Spirit’s own Captain Will Gardam and CDST Director Sarah Stump—and spoke passionately about his support for the private ambulance industry.

It speaks volumes in today’s political climate that he was willing to hear these first-hand stories of service and sacrifice. We especially appreciated his personal connection to Greenville, Ohio—recalling fond memories of our county fair and his many visits over the years.

Our congratulations also extend to Star of Life awardees from Community Care and Superior Ambulance, among the 147 recipients from 33 states gathered this week in Washington to be recognized for their outstanding contributions to the communities they serve.
