Don't Risk a Life to Save a Minute!

08/09/2025

This week in Grand County, two tragic and senseless vehicle accidents occurred on our highways.

It is with heavy hearts we share this message: Excessive speeds on our narrow mountain highways—and passing in no-passing zones—aren’t worth the risk. Lives are too precious.

Please, slow down, stay patient, and help keep our roads safe.

25 miles.
6 lives.
5 days.

With tonight's awards ceremony, year nineteen of the GCEMS and high school EMT program has come to a close. Following more than 200 classroom hours, 100+ clinical scenarios, and field clinicals, these graduates are now eligible to sit for the National Registry of EMTs certification examination and we could not be more proud! CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉

To our Grand Community,
As we celebrate National EMS Week, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the professionals of Grand County EMS who serve our residents and millions of annual visitors with expertise, compassion, and unwavering dedication.

This year’s theme, “We Care. For Everyone,” speaks directly to the heart of who we are. No matter the time, place, or circumstance, GCEMS is there. From our lowest river bed, to the highest peak and everywhere in between, our crews are ready when help is needed, and their results speak for themselves.

Your GCEMS providers outperform state and national benchmarks in 27 of 29 clinical care metrics, confirming top-notch, evidence-based care. One of the first three EMS agencies in Colorado to implement prehospital whole blood, our providers offer the best chance to people who may otherwise perish. Our bystander CPR rates led the state in 2024, and we achieved a remarkable 4.92 out of 5 average patient satisfaction score. Additionally, despite increasing call volume, we reduced response time by nearly a full minute last year.

These outcomes—and countless others—are the result of relentless training and an unshakable commitment. The EMS providers at GCEMS stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in nation, and it is my absolute honor and privilege to represent and serve them.
To the people of Grand County: thank you for your trust. To the professionals at GCEMS: thank you for your courage, your skill, and your heart. Every week, I stand in awe of what you accomplish. To our partner agencies: we couldn’t do what we do without your support and teamwork.

If you see a Grand County EMS crew out and about, take a moment and give them a smile and a quick thanks, they’re an incredible group of humans our community can be proud of.

Respectfully,

Austin Wingate
EMS Chief

Today was a very exciting day for Grand County EMS as we broke ground on our new headquarters station. Thank you to everybody who attended to help us celebrate!

Late last Thursday night, Chief Wingate, Grand County Commissioner Linke, and others testified to the Senate Health & Human Services committee on behalf of HB25-1088 which would protect consumers with Colorado healthcare plans from balance billing, and require insurance to pay the costs of ambulance transport. Just before midnight, it passed committee unanimously. Today, it passed appropations and second reading on the floor of the Senate.

This is another way that GCEMS advocates for our patients, including long after the call.

✨ April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and we are thankful for the support of our partners at Grand County Emergency Medical Services. ✨

Have you seen gardens of pinwheels planted in the community, at schools or nonprofit organizations, and wondered, why? It’s because planting pinwheels represents the bright childhoods we all want for children. We believe protecting children is everyone’s business.

In Colorado, if you have concerns about possible child abuse or neglect call 844-CO-4-Kids, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Your call is confidential. Always call 911 in a life-threatening emergency.
