Today on International Women’s Day, we want to recognize the incredible women of Moshannon Valley EMS who devote themselves everyday to ensuring the residents of the Moshannon Valley receive fast, professional, and compassionate emergency care.

While we may not have photos of all of our female providers, we are incredibly thankful for each and every one of them. Their leadership, dedication, and commitment to patient care is invaluable, and to those who are administrative staff and board members, we would not be able to operate without you.

They also often times have a way of lightening the mood during long shifts and after difficult calls, reminding us why teamwork matters in this profession. Simply put, we couldn’t do this job without them.

This weekend, several members of our staff and administrative team traveled to Monroeville to attend the annual Fire & EMS Show. While there, we had the opportunity to see our brand new ambulance proudly displayed on the show floor by its manufacturer, Atlantic Emergency Solutions.

It was an honor to have our new unit featured among the latest apparatus and emergency service equipment at such a large regional trade show. Seeing it on display alongside departments and agencies from across the region was a proud moment for our organization.

We are excited to share that delivery of this new unit will be taking place very soon, and we look forward to putting it into service to continue providing high-quality emergency medical care to the communities we serve.

Moshannon Valley EMS is pleased to congratulate the following staff members for completing the Education Methodology for Local Level Instructor course over the past month:

• Katlyn Folmar
• Joseph Shaw
• Daniel Weld
• Dakota Long
• Luke Linberg
• Tyler Bender

This course is an important step in the process of becoming a certified EMS Instructor. These individuals will now move into the monitored teaching phase, where they will assist and teach during certification programs while working toward completing their EMS Instructor credential.

Developing new instructors is critical to strengthening the future of emergency services education in our region, and we are proud to see members of our organization stepping forward to take on that responsibility.

We would also like to thank Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC) for bringing this course to our institute and Justin Eberly for sharing his knowledge and experience with the class.

Congratulations to these dedicated professionals and to everyone who participated in the Education Methodology course. The future of EMS education in the Moshannon Valley continues to grow because of leaders like you.

This afternoon, Chief Ferguson and Program Director Thomas were invited to attend and speak during a presentation at the Philipsburg Osceola Area High School regarding the future of Philipsburg and it’s infrastructure. A group of students in the Social Issues Club spent the last several weeks completing a study on Philipsburg including it’s safety, growth, and youth activities. This study outlines data collected from around the district and shows a large number of students interested in more community participation. This was turned into a documentary with help of Penn State Outreach and presented to all students in the high school and local stakeholders.

We thank P-O for allowing us to attend, applaud the time and effort these students put into this project, and encourage all students to continue to use their voices to better our area.

We are excited to announce the order of a new transport unit, which is a 2026 F-350 4x4 Diesel Type 1 ambulance. This will replace the current “MICU 23-3” that has ran nearly 300,000 miles over the last 6 years. This unit is being built by Atlantic Solutions.

Also planned in a new 2026 Chevy Tahoe intercept unit, which will replace the current “Medic 23-1”, a 2017 Chevy Tahoe interceptor.

The 2017 Tahoe will be moved from the front line and recommissioned as a special services vehicle, equipped to handle specialized operations such as search and rescue, scene rehab, and mass casualty response. This new intercept unit will be built by 911 Rapid Response.

The purchase of these two new vehicles is done through grant funding awarded by DCED. We thank everyone for their continued support.
