Adair County Ambulance District

Not all life saving work we do is in the counties we serve. Sometimes we need to travel to represent our mission and advocate for legislation that supports our mission and allows us to return back to the areas we serve knowing we did what we can to help educate the decision makers and answer questions relevant to the needs of our communities. It was an honor and pleasure to share the needs of Adair County and the rest of Missouri to legislators in Jefferson City and visit the State Capitol today. Together our voice is louder!

Today, our crews and emergency services teams collaborated with ATSU to educate ATSU medical students in Advanced Disaster Life Support. This collaborative effort enhances emergency medicine care across multiple levels, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality rates in mass casualty incidents. Following classroom instruction, numerous volunteers participated in a simulated disaster scenario, assuming victim roles. Through joint training exercises, we emphasize the significance of coordinated treatment from initial response to definitive care.

We were delighted to demonstrate CPR at Faith Lutheran School's K-8 grade Health Fair, where students actively participated and asked pertinent questions. Their eagerness to learn CPR highlights the importance of such initiatives.

To arrange a visit or training session tailored to your requirements, kindly visit our website or call 660-665-0000.

🌟 Instructor Spotlight: Jordin 🌟

Meet Jordin — EMT 🚑, Business Manager 📋, and the behind-the-scenes force that keeps The ACADemy running like a well-oiled machine.

While she’s an EMT by certification, her real superpower is organization, logistics, and making sure everything (and everyone) is exactly where it needs to be. If a class runs flawlessly, paperwork is perfect, and schedules magically work… you can thank Jordin. ✨

Outside of The ACADemy, Jordin stays busy with her husband and kids showing sheep 🐑 and rabbits 🐇 across the state, farming 🚜, and spending as much time outdoors as possible hunting 🎯, fishing 🎣, and enjoying country life.

She’s also secretly crafty 🎨 and a surprisingly good baker 🧁… but don’t spread that around too much or we’ll all start placing orders.

We’re lucky to have Jordin as part of The ACADemy team! ❤️
