Last weekend CES Matt Ryan took his skills on the road and served as a Paramedic with the Missouri State Fair Fire Dept.

The MO State Fair FD is the only fully operational Fire/EMS organization in the country that operates for only 11 days.

EMS providers and Firefighters from all over the state volunteer their time to protect the hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Fair.

The Missouri State Fair runs through August 17 in Sedalia.

Global Medical Response (GMR) has announced the recipients of the 2025 Star Of Life Award. The Stars of Life Award recognizes First Responders who have demonstrated extraordinary service and have made significant impacts to their communities.

We are happy to announce that our own EMT Morgan Stanley has been named a recipient of this award! She was nominated after organizing a donation drive for the victims of a large apartment fire earlier this year. Morgan and her team took donations of clothes, food, and household items to assist the families displaced. In total they filled more than three ambulances completely full of supplies! This donation drive went from idea to reality in only 2 days, all through the power of hard work and social media.

Morgan and the other recipients will be recognized at the American Ambulance Association Stars of Life Awards Ceremony in Washington DC later this year.

In June 2025, EMT M. Silver, EMT M. Peitsmeyer and Clinical Officer Paramedic M. Ryan tended to an ill patient as a team. The neat part, Silver and Ryan are both congenital amputees.

This patient care encounter likely marks the first time an AMR Independence patient received pre-hospital emergency care from two amputees! Silver and Ryan have even had the opportunity to care for other critically ill patients together since. Silver and Ryan want to remind any amputees out there not to let anything stop them from chasing their dreams.

Be safe out there, everyone!

Training Update: Independence, Missouri!

This quarter our staff were provided various education topics.

Medical Director Dr. Pichette gave valuable documentation perspectives to our providers. Clinical Officers Matt and Kristi ran providers through case reviews, respiratory concepts using pig lungs, and trauma concepts using pork butts and ribs. Each concept taught was enhanced by the input of Medical Director Dr. Gustafson. Did you know that our EMTs also participate in the same training as our Paramedics? This helps our EMTs know how to best support their Paramedic partner but also prepares them for Paramedic school!

We are so proud of the time and effort our providers put into enhancing their medical care.

Independence, Missouri!

Last Friday our new hire providers completed the two day Emergency Vehicle Operations Course where they were taught by their FTOs in the classroom and on a closed course how to safely operate Ambulances and SUVs in various situations. Our new hires practice on Type I and Type II Ambulances as well as our SUVs which we call Quick Response Vehicles. These skills will be honed and repeatedly practiced out in the field next week under the supervision of their respective FTOs!

Today we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the preservation of our Country and Freedoms.

Our thoughts are with the Kansas City Fire Department and the family of Firefighter/Paramedic Hoffman.
