Johnson County Ambulance - Buffalo EMS

04/15/2026

During Telecommunicators Week 2026, Buffalo EMS is proud to recognize our own Johnson County Dispatchers—the voices we rely on every single day.

In a rural county like ours, where distance, weather, and limited resources can make every call more complex, you are the steady hand that keeps everything moving. You know our roads, our responders, and our community—and that local knowledge makes a real difference when seconds count. Whether it’s a highway call in the middle of winter, a remote ranch response, or coordinating mutual aid, you consistently go above and beyond to make sure we have what we need.

We hear you on every page, every update, and every late-night call—and we couldn’t do this job without you.

From all of us at Buffalo EMS, thank you for your dedication, your grit, and your commitment to Johnson County. We’re proud to be on the same team.

🚑 Leadership News from Buffalo EMS!!🚑

After 44 years as Director of Buffalo EMS, Dr. Dave Harness is passing the torch. On June 1, longtime team member Karri White will step into the role of Director.
Karri has been a trusted part of Buffalo EMS for 24 years - and now she’s taking the lead with deep experience, steady leadership, and a heart for service.

Dave Harness isn’t going anywhere - he’ll remain owner and full-time team member. But as he says, “Karri is more than ready, and I’m proud to support her as she guides Buffalo EMS into a strong future.”
Join us in thanking Dave for his decades of leadership - and welcoming Karri to her new role.

Important message from our friends at Public Johnson County Public Health

Several states currently have reported measles outbreaks, and the number of reported cases is continuing to increase. Measles is an extremely contagious illness that can be prevented by the highly effective MMR vaccine.

If you plan to travel this spring break, make sure you and your family are protected against measles by getting your measles shot before venturing on your road trip or to the airport.

Staying home for spring break? It's not a bad idea to make sure you and your family are caught up on your measles shots as we will likely have an uptick in tourists from other states during that time.

For questions or to make an appointment, call Public Health at 307-684-2564.
