Good afternoon,
Within a week or so, Ackley EMS will be operational with 4 volunteer staff as First Responders. First Responders will assist with medical emergencies before the arrival of Iowa Falls EMS (Paramedics) to deliver advanced care and transport to a hospital.
Ackley EMS will also be looking for individuals interested in becoming Emergency Medical Responders and will offer a class late this fall to provide training for this role.
