Wrapping up the 2025 year, we had a total of 1407 calls. Of those, we had 548 transfers (most were hospital to hospital for those patients who required a higher level of care, but some were hospice patients and patients who needed to go back to another facility such as a nursing home).

Of the other 859 calls, 30 were second unit calls; 72 were scheduled stand by events such as sporting events, PowWow, Motocross, parades, escorts, and career fairs; 21 were fire stand by, 167 were refusals/no transports, cancelled, or lift assist; 6 times patient care was transferred via air ambulance.

We would like to thank all our staff, both volunteer and paid for all your hard work and dedication this past year. You all made a difference 1407 times for those in our community.

We would also like to thank the community for the privilege of providing you with care when you most need it. 🚨🚑
