🚑 Monthly Training Update 🚑

Our training schedule may look a little different this month! Due to our crews’ attendance at the Washington Town & Country Fair, we have just one scheduled training for the month.

This month’s training will be led by retired Washington Police Sergeant Joe Kapustka and will include both a classroom portion and a hands-on driving portion.

This is an annual training that every member of our team is required to complete each year. It focuses on safe ambulance operations and helps ensure our crews are prepared to safely transport and care for our patients while also keeping our crew members and other drivers on the road safe. 🚑🛣️

At Washington Area Ambulance District, ongoing training is an important part of providing safe, high-quality care to the community we serve.

A special thank you to Joe Kapustka for sharing his knowledge and experience with our team!

🚑 You might notice our crews looking a little different this week! 🚑

As we respond to emergencies throughout the community and at the fairgrounds, our EMS personnel may be wearing high-visibility orange shirts instead of their traditional uniform tops.

Why the change? Simple, it helps us stand out in large crowds so we’re easier to spot if you or someone nearby needs emergency medical assistance.

Whether you’re enjoying the fair or out around town, if you need us, look for the bright orange Washington EMS shirts. Our commitment to providing fast, professional care hasn’t changed, just our look!

We hope everyone has a safe and fun week at the fair! 🎡💙

These trainings are conducted across all shifts as part of our ongoing commitment to excellence in patient care.
