🚑 What happens when all our ambulances are on a call — and another emergency comes in?

We call on mutual aid!

Mutual aid is when nearby EMS agencies (like Boone, Randolph, Cooper, or Chariton counties) respond to emergencies in Howard County because our crews are already out. And we do the same for them when needed.

✅ It’s how small, rural services back each other up.
✅ It means you’re never left waiting without help on the way.
✅ But it also highlights how thin the system is stretched — especially when call volumes spike.

Why it matters: Without strong staffing and sustainable funding here at home, we rely more and more on outside help. Mutual aid is a lifeline — but it was never meant to be the plan A.

🚨🎉 It’s Finally Here! 🎉🚨

After years of planning, waiting, and anticipation, our brand-new ambulance has officially arrived in Howard County! 🚑💙

This new truck represents a huge step forward for our district — improving safety, reliability, and the quality of care we can provide on every call. Our crews are beyond excited to put it into service and continue serving the community with the best tools possible.

We’ve been waiting a long time for this one… and it was worth it! 🙌

Stay tuned — we’ll be sharing more photos, videos, and details about the new ambulance soon right here on our page. 👀📸

🙌 Thank You! 💙

Thanks to generous donations from Howard Electric Cooperative (pictured) and the Barker Fund, the Howard County Ambulance District has been able to purchase two new ELK Lifting Cushion Systems! 🚑

These battery-powered lift cushions help EMTs safely assist patients who have fallen — reducing injury risk for both patients and caregivers. Each system can lift up to 980 lbs and provides a safer, more comfortable way to help individuals back to a seated or standing position. 💙

Your support helps us continue improving patient care and safety across Howard County.

From all of us at HCAD — thank you for making this possible! 👏

🚑 Meet the Team Monday!

Say hello to EMT Katy Flaspohler! 💙

Katy joined Howard County Ambulance with a heartfelt mission — to offer the same compassion and calm she once witnessed from an EMS crew during her own family’s emergency. Their professionalism and care inspired her to become an EMT and provide that same comfort to others in their most difficult moments. ❤️

Her favorite part of the job? “The unpredictable nature of the job makes every day a new, fulfilling challenge.” When she’s off duty, Katy loves to read — and she’s currently re-reading the A Court of Thorns and Roses series! 📚✨

Help us thank Katy for her dedication to serving our community with empathy and strength. 👏

🚑 Every Call Counts!

Howard County Ambulance responds to hundreds of calls every year. In 2021 we answered 1,320 calls — and by 2024, we handled 1,114. This year (Jan–June 2025), we’ve already answered 610 calls.

Each one represents a neighbor, a family member, a friend in need. 💙

🚑 In Case You Missed It:
In the Fayette Advertiser and Glasgow Missourian in September, we shared why every minute matters when it comes to emergency medical care — especially in rural counties like ours.

From the moment a 911 call comes in, response times depend on one thing above all: how many crews are on duty.

As we shared in a previous article about staffing, keeping two full crews ready around the clock would require 17 full-time EMTs and paramedics. With fewer than half that number, our team still finds a way to cover every corner of the county — often working well beyond full-time hours to make sure help is always on the way.

⏱️ Faster response times save lives.

🚑 Meet Your Crew Monday: Bryan Newell 🚑

This week, we’re introducing Bryan Newell, one of our dedicated Paramedics here at Howard County Ambulance District!

Bryan has been part of HCAD for 20 years, and during that time, he’s become an invaluable member of our team. When asked what his favorite part of the job is, Bryan said, “Everything!” and it’s easy to see why. He loves being able to work with people in the community, provide care when it’s needed most, and truly make a difference in the lives of others.

When he’s not on a call, you might find Bryan enjoying one of his favorite foods hot dogs or relaxing with his favorite movie, Jaws 🦈.

We’re grateful to have Bryan’s experience, compassion, and commitment as part of our HCAD family! 💙
