🚑 EMS WEEK SAFETY DAY 🚑

As we recognize EMS Week and today being Safety Day, West Hardy EMS is proud to announce the addition of new Tango TX1 Carbon Monoxide Monitors to help better protect our crews and the communities we serve.

These advanced monitors provide continuous carbon monoxide detection, helping alert responders to dangerous environments before symptoms appear. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can quickly become deadly, making early detection critical for both patient and responder safety.

This important safety equipment was generously purchased through the support of Pilgrim’s, whose commitment to community safety and first responders is greatly appreciated.

The new monitors will allow our crews to better identify hidden hazards on emergency scenes while enhancing the safety of our personnel during patient care and rescue operations.

During EMS Week, we not only celebrate the dedication of emergency responders, but also the importance of keeping our providers safe while they care for others. Investments in responder safety directly improve the care we provide to our community every day.

Thank you to Pilgrim’s and to everyone who continues to support West Hardy EMS and our mission to serve Hardy County safely and professionally. ❤️🚑

West Hardy EMS was proud to host the Moorefield Girl Scouts on April 23! 🚑

The group got an inside look at what we do every day, from exploring our ambulances to learning about basic emergency care and safety. It was a great opportunity to connect with these young community members and hopefully inspire a future generation of first responders!

Thank you to the Moorefield Girl Scouts for spending the evening with us—we loved having you! 💙

Great news for West Virginia's EMS agencies! Thank you Governor Morrisey!

Big News! Our Legislation is Complete!

Governor Patrick Morrisey has signed HB 5168 to create our state's first permanent EMS funding and SB 645 to reform out-of-network ambulance billing. Other bills signed into law expand education grants (HB 5212), enhance retirement benefits (SB 724 & SB 977), and protect first responders (SB 4)—representing the biggest changes to WV’s EMS system in decades.

By strengthening funding, updating insurance laws, expanding educational opportunities, and supporting our dedicated EMS professionals, West Virginia is reshaping emergency medical services for the future. Thank you to Patrick Morrisey and the numerous members of the West Virginia Legislature who played a part in this incredible progress!

Share this post and thank the Governor and any legislators you contacted during the session for their support.

Exciting news! 🚑 We are just a few strokes of Patrick Morrisey's pen from major improvements for EMS across West Virginia.

Thanks to legislation providing permanent state funding, updated insurance laws, better retirement benefits, more education grants, and the Rural Health Transformation Program, we’re on the brink of historic change for emergency medical services.

The EMS community is eagerly hoping for a bill signing ceremony with Governor Patrick Morrisey. With his approval of these bills, we’ll see the biggest advances for EMS since the Emergency Ambulance Service Act of 1975!

HB 5168 – Creates the first permanent funding source for EMS
SB 645 – Makes sure health insurance treats EMS fairly
HB 5212 – Expands access to EMS educational grants
SB 724/SB 977 – Improve retirement benefits for EMS workers
SB 4 – Protects first responders while they’re on duty
HB 5086 – Strengthens confidence in Peer Support services

These bills will make a real difference for EMS and the communities we serve. Stay tuned for more updates!
