Rural EMS is different.

This is rural EMS with purpose, support and room to grow.

Here, you are not one small piece of a massive system. You are often the first clinical decision-maker, the transport clinician, the patient advocate, and the bridge between the community, the hospital, specialty care, and follow-up support.

At Wray EMS, we take that responsibility seriously.

We are a progressive rural EMS agency focused on strong clinical care, practical leadership, and sustainable service to our community. Our team operates in an environment that supports great medicine, good judgment, and continued professional growth.

This position offers the opportunity to work in a system with:

✅ An enjoyable and supportive work environment
✅ Current, evidence-based clinical guidelines
✅ Up-to-date ambulances and EMS equipment
✅ ALS 911 response
✅ Inter-facility transport opportunities
✅ Community Paramedicine / Community Health assignments
✅ Strong medical direction and clinical support
✅ A service model where your decisions and skills truly matter

This is a great opportunity for a paramedic who wants more than just running calls. Wray EMS is involved across the full patient-care picture — emergency response, transport, community health, and rural healthcare access.

We are currently accepting applications for a **Full-Time Advanced Life Support (ALS) / Community Health Paramedic**.

Details regarding qualifications, compensation, benefits, application instructions, and deadline are included in the flyer.

If you are a paramedic who values clinical thinking, teamwork, community service, and the challenge of rural EMS, we would like to hear from you.

“This EMS Week, we recognize the people, commitment, and teamwork behind Wray EMS.

The 2026 EMS Week theme is “Improving Outcomes, Together” — and that fits rural EMS perfectly. In our community, better outcomes do not happen because of one person, one ambulance, one hospital, or one moment. They happen because responders, dispatchers, nurses, providers, law enforcement, firefighters, hospital staff, families, and community members all play a part.

For many people, EMS is most visible during the emergency — the 911 call, the ambulance response, the lights, the sirens, the immediate care, and the transport to the hospital. That response will always be a core part of who we are. Wray EMS is proud to provide advanced prehospital care when minutes matter and patients need us most.

But improving outcomes does not begin and end with the emergency call. Some of the most meaningful work happens before the crisis, after the discharge, and in the space between hospital care and home.
Our Community Paramedic Program, in collaboration with Wray Community District Hospital, is a powerful example of that same EMS mission continuing beyond the ambulance response. It may not always be the bright, shiny, front-page part of EMS, but it matters. It helps connect patients to care, supports people in their homes, reinforces treatment plans, identifies problems earlier, and helps reduce barriers before they become emergencies.

Wray EMS is proud to serve the Northeastern Colorado plains with advanced care, rural grit, and unwavering commitment. Whether responding to a 911 call, transferring a critically ill patient, supporting a patient at home, training for the next emergency, or working alongside our healthcare partners, our mission remains the same:

Show up prepared. Work together. Improve outcomes.

To our Wray EMS team: thank you for the long hours, the missed meals, the hard calls, the quiet professionalism, and the pride you bring to this service.”

One of our own experienced a medical emergency a little over a month ago after responding to a call while on duty. Since then, he has been unable to return to work.

This is someone who has always been there for others—someone who would give the shirt off his back without hesitation. Now, he needs our support.

If you are able to donate, any amount makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. If you’re not in a position to give, we ask that you please take a moment to share this post and help us spread the word.

Thank you for supporting one of our own during this difficult time.

Kevin Rutt has spent his life showing up for others when they needed him most. As a d… Tera Miller needs your support for Support Kevin Rutt's Medical Journey

🚑 City of Wray EMS – Training That Matters

This past Sunday, April 19th, our crew had the opportunity to take part in an elite, hands-on training featuring UCHealth’s state-of-the-art simulation trailer and guidance from our Medical Director, Dr. Andra Farcas, and the UCHealth Prehospital EMS Integrated Medical Direction team.

Throughout the day, providers were pushed through high-intensity, real-world scenarios including trauma, advanced airway management, critical medical and respiratory emergencies, and mass casualty incidents. These weren’t just drills—they were designed to test decision-making under pressure, sharpen clinical skills, and strengthen the teamwork that lives depend on.

In rural EMS, we don’t get second chances. When the call comes in, it’s real, it’s urgent, and it matters. That’s why training like this is essential. It builds the confidence, coordination, and clinical excellence needed to deliver the highest level of care—no matter the situation.

We’re incredibly grateful to UCHealth, Dr. Farcas, and everyone involved for investing their time, expertise, and resources into our team and our region.

This is how we stay ready. This is how we serve. 🚑💪

We are deeply saddened to share that our Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and longtime Northeast Colorado EMT-Intermediate, Jerry Morris, has passed away after a courageous fight with cancer.

Jerry’s name became synonymous with dedication in rural EMS.

He earned his EMT-Intermediate in 2002 through Morgan Community College and never stopped learning. He attended conferences, continuing education, and regional trainings whenever possible, remaining committed to clinical excellence throughout his career.

From his home in Last Chance, Colorado, Jerry provided ALS care to a region that might otherwise wait 45 minutes or more for an ALS ambulance from Akron or Brush. He answered a remarkable percentage of calls in his area and continued responding to his community’s needs until he physically could not.

Patients and colleagues described him as kind, steady, and reassuring. His clinical skills remained sharp, and his judgment was sound. He recognized when a higher level of care was needed and acted decisively, always placing patients first.

Jerry also served as an unpaid board member for NCRETAC for many years, where he provided a steady and authentic voice for rural volunteer providers dedicated to serving their communities. He understood the realities of frontier EMS and ensured those perspectives were represented in regional conversations.

Even after his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, Jerry remained devoted to EMS. He mentored newer EMTs and firefighters, supported training efforts, and stayed engaged in service for as long as he was able.

Jerry demonstrated a heart of dedication and clinical excellence that surpassed most providers in our area. His commitment set a standard that will not be easily matched.

Northeast Colorado is better because Jerry served here.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, his department - Washington County Ambulance Service, and the many colleagues and patients whose lives he touched. His legacy lives on in the providers he taught and the communities he protected.
