So proud of the people who dedicate their lives to saving the lives of others in our hometown community. Thank you Jason Renz and Thomas Gipson for your outstanding service and commitment!

Another example below ⬇️ of the greatness that resides in our community.

We had the pleasure of presenting two of our EMT’s , Jason Renz and Thomas Gipson, with life saving awards for a medical event that occurred within the City of Nowata on August 5th. They were crucial in ensuring a positive outcome for the patient. The patient was later intubated, but made a full recovery and was estimated and released from the hospital a week later with no lasting effects. We are proud of them and proud to call them our friends and coworkers.
