Help us congratulate Erin Miller, one of our EMTs, on successfully completing the Paramedic Program through Western Technical College 🚑👏

Completing a full-time paramedic program is no small accomplishment—and Erin managed to do it while working full-time as a firefighter with the City of La Crosse and part-time with Badgerland EMS. Talk about keeping busy! 💪

🎉 BIG NEWS!! 🎉

After 21 months of hard work, dedication, and growth, we are excited to announce that Badgerland EMS has officially purchased the former Gr8 Buy property on W. Wisconsin Street, which will become our new station!

This new facility represents an incredible milestone for our organization and will provide the space and resources needed to continue growing while expanding the services we provide to our communities and healthcare partners throughout the region.

This achievement would not have been possible without our outstanding team. Every day, our EMTs, AEMTs, Paramedics, and Critical Care Paramedics demonstrate an unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care to the patients entrusted to us. Your professionalism, compassion, and dedication are the foundation of everything we do, and we are incredibly grateful for each of you.

🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸
From the Badgerland EMS family to all the proud Americans we serve across Wisconsin, today we celebrate two and a half centuries of liberty, resilience, and the enduring American spirit.

On July 4, 1776, brave patriots declared that we are a nation “endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights” — Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. For 250 years, generations of Americans have defended those ideals on battlefields, in our communities, and in everyday acts of courage and service.

Here at Badgerland, we see that same spirit every single day. Our EMS team is ready to answers the call 24/7, because preserving life and serving our neighbors is at the heart of what it means to be American. Whether it’s helping a family in their moment of need or standing ready to support our mutual aid partners and community events, we are honored to play our small part in keeping the Badger State strong.

This milestone isn’t just about fireworks and celebrations (though we hope you enjoy them safely!). It’s a reminder of the extraordinary experiment in freedom that continues because of the character of the American people — hardworking, generous, tough, and united when it matters most.

Thank you to all who have served and sacrificed to make this country possible. To our veterans, active duty service members, fellow first responders, and every citizen who loves this land: we salute you.

Here’s to 250 years — and to the next 250 of liberty and opportunity!

God Bless America

❤️🤍💙 Badgerland EMS ❤️🤍💙

We’re excited to recognize Critical Care Paramedic and co-owner John Krause (right side of the picture) for successfully completing the first year of the Medical Transport Leadership Institute (MTLI)!

In keeping with Badgerland EMS’s commitment to excellence, this program gave John the opportunity to learn from respected industry leaders on topics including leadership, professionalism, and key elements of the pre-hospital care system. He also had the valuable chance to network with local EMS providers, which helps strengthen collaboration across services in western Wisconsin.

Congratulations, John!
