Today, we pause to honor the life and legacy of Dreama Epling, a retired paramedic whose dedication to serving the people of Boone County left a lasting impact on our community and our profession.

Throughout her career with the Boone County Ambulance Authority, Dreama answered countless calls for help with compassion, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to caring for others. Her service touched the lives of patients, families, coworkers, and friends, and her contributions will not be forgotten.

On behalf of the Boone County Ambulance Authority, we extend our deepest condolences to Dreama's family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside her during her years of service.

We are grateful for the time, dedication, and heart she gave to emergency medical services and to the citizens of Boone County. Her legacy of service will continue to inspire those who follow in her footsteps.

Rest easy, Dreama. Thank you for your service, your compassion, and the difference you made in so many lives. You will always be remembered.

Today, we're proud to introduce the newest member of the Boone County Ambulance Authority fleet—a 2026 Ford F-350 4x4 Wheeled Coach Ambulance.

This ambulance is more than just a new emergency vehicle. Its special breast cancer awareness graphics are designed to inspire hope, celebrate the strength of survivors, and honor the memory of those who have lost their battle with breast cancer. Every time this unit responds to a call, it will also serve as a visible reminder of the courage, resilience, and compassion that exist throughout our community.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Boone County Commission for making this purchase possible through funding provided by the Opioid Settlement Funds. Their continued investment in emergency medical services allows us to provide our crews with safe, reliable equipment and helps ensure the highest level of care for the citizens of Boone County.

Our team is putting the finishing touches on this unit with equipment installation and further inspections. We look forward to placing it into service in the coming weeks, where it will proudly serve the residents and visitors of Boone County for years to come!
