🚑 Thank You for 13 Years of Service, Donnie Martin! 🚑

After 13 years of dedicated service on the Lewis County Ambulance District Board of Directors, Donnie Martin is officially retiring from the board.

For more than a decade, Donnie has given his time, leadership, and support to help guide our district and ensure that Lewis County continues to have quality emergency medical services when our community needs them most.

Serving on an ambulance district board may happen behind the scenes, but the decisions made there have a very real impact—from supporting our EMTs and paramedics to making sure we have the ambulances, equipment, and resources needed to care for our citizens.

Donnie, thank you for 13 years of commitment to Lewis County Ambulance District and the people we serve. Your time, leadership, and dedication to our district and community are greatly appreciated.

We wish you nothing but the best as you step away from the board and begin this next chapter.

Congratulations and Happy Retirement, Donnie! 🚑💙

13 years of service. Countless decisions. One goal: taking care of Lewis County.

Happy Retirement, Linda Goodson! 🚑❤️

After 23 years of dedicated service to the Lewis County Ambulance District, today we celebrate an incredible career and an even more incredible person.

Linda began her EMS journey serving the community where she was born and raised, and after more than two decades of answering calls, comforting patients, and serving her neighbors during some of the most difficult moments of their lives, she is ending that journey right where it all started.

Twenty-three years means countless late nights, holidays away from family, missed celebrations, lives touched, and a commitment to a profession that is often unseen until someone needs help the most. Her compassion, professionalism, and unwavering dedication have left a lasting impact on our district and the people of Lewis County.

On behalf of the Lewis County Ambulance District, thank you, Linda, for your years of selfless service, your dedication to this community, and the example you’ve set for those who have had the privilege of working alongside you.

We wish you nothing but happiness, good health, and many well-deserved adventures in retirement.

Congratulations on 23 years of service, and happy retirement, Linda! Your legacy will always be a part of Lewis County EMS. 💙🚑

🚑🔥 Training Today Could Save a Life Tomorrow! 🔥🚑

Lewis County Ambulance District, alongside the Canton R-V Fire Protection District, had the opportunity to work with the Culver-Stockton College Resident Assistants (RAs) to provide hands-on training in essential emergency response skills.

Our team covered basic CPR, first aid, and Narcan administration, giving these students the knowledge and confidence to recognize an emergency and take action when it matters most.

We’re proud to partner with our local schools and community organizations to help build a safer, more prepared community. A few minutes of training can make a lifetime of difference! ❤️

A huge thank-you to the Culver-Stockton RAs for their participation and willingness to learn!

Yesterday, the citizens of Lewis County made an investment in the future of emergency medical services by voting YES.

On behalf of everyone at the Lewis County Ambulance District, thank you for your trust, your confidence, and your support.

Your vote is about much more than funding. It is about ensuring that when someone calls 911 on the worst day of their life, there will be highly trained EMTs and paramedics ready to answer that call with the equipment, ambulances, and resources needed to provide the highest level of care possible.

This support allows us to continue moving forward—strengthening our workforce, investing in our employees, replacing aging equipment, improving benefits, and ensuring we can recruit and retain the dedicated professionals who serve this community 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

To everyone who took the time to learn about the proposal, asked questions, attended meeting, and exercised your right to vote—thank you. We do not take your support for granted.

We also want to thank our employees, board members, volunteers, and everyone who help to educate the community throughout this process.

Tonight is not the finish line—it is the beginning of our commitment to continue earning your trust every single day. We remain dedicated to providing compassionate, professional, and reliable emergency medical care to every resident and visitor of Lewis County. If you have any questions or opinions as we move forward, please reach out to our administrator or any of the board members.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Lewis County! We are honored to serve you!

Ambulance District Expanded Property Tax Relief

Lewis County Ambulance District is seeking voter approval for property tax roll back on the August 4th election. The proposal would increase the county sales tax by an additional one half of one percent and decrease the property tax paid by the citizens of Lewis County. If approved, the total sales tax dedicated to the ambulance district would increase to one percent.

With the first sales tax of one-half of one percent being over 16 years ago for the district, this additional funding would be used to maintain highly trained paramedics and EMTs, keep ambulance and emergency equipment up to date, offset the rising cost of medical supplies, and recruit and retain additional personnel by offering more benefits.

Please vote "YES" on the August 4th ballot for the Ambulance District Expanded Property Tax Relief. It is the best choice for our community.

If you have questions, contact Lewis County Ambulance at 573-215-2447, or attend the informational meeting at the Ewing Fire Department on Thursday, July 23rd at 6:30pm.
