Today we say adios to one of our youngest dispatchers. Today is Kara’s last shift with our dispatch center. 💛
Kara will be graduating from K-State in May with her degree in Criminal Justice and plans to continue her career as a 911 dispatcher. She was our very first applicant for the internship program, and over the past almost two years she has truly been a bright spot in our department.
We’ve shared countless laughs, and I won’t lie—there have been a few tears as we say goodbye. Kara, we are so proud of you and excited to see where your journey takes you next. Wherever you land, you are going to do great things.
If you’d like, please leave a comment below wishing Kara good luck or sharing a kind word as she takes this next step. We’ll miss you, Kara! 💙📞

Thank you to our EMS! We have a great group of first responders working for our community!

🚑 Volunteer Dedication. Community Commitment. 🚑

Since Tuesday, Sheridan County EMS has completed 5 long-distance patient transfers, traveling over 1,250 miles in just a few days. For a small, rural service that staffs one ambulance 24/7, this is no small feat — it’s a powerful example of teamwork and dedication.

What makes this even more impressive is how our volunteer EMS staff stepped up on every level:
• Volunteers made themselves available to travel long distances on transfers

• Others stayed back to ensure 911 coverage remained uninterrupted

• Every transfer was completed with Advanced Life Support (ALS) capabilities

💙 ALS vs. BLS — why it matters:
Advanced Life Support (ALS) provides a higher level of care, including cardiac monitoring, IV medications, airway management, and advanced interventions for critically ill patients. Basic Life Support (BLS) focuses on essential lifesaving care such as oxygen, splinting, CPR, basic medications, and patient monitoring.

We are incredibly proud to say that every transfer was staffed with ALS, ensuring our patients received the highest level of care possible throughout their journey.

👏 A huge THANK YOU to ALL of our providers. Everyone plays a key role to the success of our department.

To every volunteer who went on a transfer, stayed in town, answered a late-night call, or rearranged personal schedules — thank you. Your commitment ensures that our community continues to receive high-quality emergency medical care, no matter the distance or demand.

We are proud of this team. We are grateful for this dedication. And we are honored to serve alongside you. 💙🚑

Today we recognize and thank our law enforcement officers for their service, sacrifice, and commitment to keeping our communities safe. Your dedication does not go unnoticed. 💙🚓
