🎆🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from Linn County Ambulance District! 🇺🇸🎆

As you celebrate with fireworks, food, and family today, your local EMS crews are standing by—ready to respond if needed, but hoping everyone just enjoys the day safely!

🔥 A few quick safety tips:
• Light fireworks away from people, pets, and property.
• Keep water nearby—just in case.
• Never relight a “dud” firework (even if Uncle Bob swears it’s fine).
• Hydrate like it’s your job—heatstroke is not festive.

We’re proud to serve this incredible community. Wishing you a safe, joyful, and star-spangled Independence Day! 🇺🇸❤️💙

Thank you for faithfully serving our communities. Now go hydrate—you know better.

She Raised You. She Bandaged You. She Deserves the Best Trauma Kit.

This Mother’s Day, skip the brunch line and show Mom you’ve got your priorities in order—starting with safety and scene awareness!

To all the EMS moms out there:
• Who can start an IV with one hand and calm a toddler with the other
• Who carry trauma shears in their purse just in case
• Who somehow manage to work night shift and make it to the school play
We see you. We salute you. We hope you get a nap this weekend.

And for everyone else—maybe this is the year Mom gets her own tourniquet. Just sayin’.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Linn County Ambulance District Training Center!

Happy National Nurses Week!

To all the nurses we work with at our partner hospitals—thank you for being the calm in the chaos, the masters of multitasking, and the champions of patient care (and let’s be honest…probably running on caffeine and sheer willpower).

And to our incredible nurses who ALSO jump on the truck and pull shifts on the District ambulances—seriously, do you all sleep? You’re superheroes in scrubs and EMS gear, and we’re lucky to have you on our team.

From IV starts in moving ambulances to saving lives in ER bays, you do it all with grit, grace, and probably a slightly concerning amount of sarcasm.

We appreciate you. We admire you. And we know things would fall apart real fast without you.

Thank you, Nurses. You make the chaos survivable—and somehow, even kind of fun.

🚑❤️ February Focus: “My Heart Bleeds for You” – Life-Saving Bleeding Control Training ❤️🚑

This February, we’re putting our hearts into something that truly matters: saving lives. At Linn County Ambulance District, we’re dedicating this month to mastering the critical skills of bleeding control. Did you know severe bleeding is one of the leading preventable causes of death in trauma? With the right training and tools, we can change that.

Our team is spending February sharpening skills like:
✅ Stopping the bleed with direct pressure, wound packing, and tourniquets.
✅ Using advanced interventions like hemostatic agents and Tranexamic Acid (TXA).
✅ Working through realistic scenarios to be ready for anything.

💡 Why does this matter to you? Because in emergencies, seconds save lives—and we’re committed to making every one of them count for our community.

Stay tuned throughout the month as we share insights, tips, and updates on how we’re training to protect the ones we serve. Let’s show that when it comes to stopping the bleed, our hearts are always in it. ❤️
