Happy Rural Health Day, from one of the many rural ambulance services! 💗

🚑 Happy Rural Health Day, Minnesota! 🌾

Our rural EMS professionals are the backbone of health and safety in communities across the state. In places where distance, limited resources, workforce shortages, and transportation barriers create unique challenges, EMS teams continue to show up with resilience, skill, and compassion.

Rural EMS is more than emergency response. It is community connection. It is problem-solving under pressure. It is innovation born from necessity. And it is a vital part of Minnesota’s rural health system, supporting the wellbeing and economic vitality of the regions you serve.

Today, the Minnesota Office of Emergency Medical Services thanks every EMT, AEMT, paramedic, medical director, dispatcher, and first responder keeping rural communities safe—often with fewer resources but never with less commitment.

Your dedication embodies the spirit recognized in today’s proclamation, and Minnesota is stronger because of you. 💛
