Scene flight May 6th, with Keokuk County Ambulance South English Volunteer QRS North Keokuk County Fire Department in Webster, IA

Thank you University of Iowa AirCare for flying in tonight for landing zone and aircraft safety training!

Today's windy weather was perfect for today's Kites for Kids Festival - North Liberty, held as part of Child Abuse Prevention Month in collaboration with Johnson County Social Services, Community Partnership for Protecting Children and Prevent Child Abuse - Johnson County.

Children and parents flew dozens of kites, experienced a visit from University of Iowa AirCare, and enjoyed hot chocolate, tea, and cookies while learning about and from local service agencies.

This event is part of the City Slate of free events. Learn more about this and more free events in North Liberty at northlibertyiowa.org/cityslate

Today I'm reminded of how lucky the citizens are of Iowa County and the dedication of our Public Safety. Many of whom are volunteers. Even though the outcome wasn't what we all wanted, the effort put forth by all was incredible. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU.

Just over 26 months ago I shared the importance of our EMS services here in Bremer County, and beyond. The lack of public funding in recent years would eventually lead to the demise of many rural services, if not addressed soon. This would include many services in our vicinity that we rely on for mutual aid.

The future of rural EMS in now visible on the horizon here in Bremer County and will be addressed next year. Thankfully, next year is less than 48 hours away.

On January 3rd, the Bremer County Supervisors will waste no time and have placed the third public hearing of the matter on the agenda. Paired with the hearing is a vote on a resolution to declare EMS as an essential service in Bremer County.

This first step opens opportunities toward funding such services in the future.

Thanks for coming down to the plant for our Safety Days last week! Everyone was impressed by the knowledge and care that the crew had for all of the questions!

We look forward to this day each year!!

Progressive Agriculture Safety Day for Delaware County 7th Graders was held at the Delaware County Fairgrounds on Tuesday, October 5th with over 250 students, teachers, adult volunteers and presenters in attendance.

All 7th grade students from Edgewood Colesburg CSD Maquoketa Valley Community School District and West Delaware attended.

At this year’s Safety Day, students rotated through 7 safety stations....
PTO and Grain Safety was instructed by Lon Warnecke with River Valley Cooperative
Lawn and Yard Equipment Safety was instructed by JJ Davis from the City of Manchester, Iowa
Maquoketa Valley Electric Cooperative presented on electrical safety.
Jon Stickney with the Iowa State Patrol taught the students about bus safety.
The Delaware County Firefighters Association led the fire safety station Delaware Co IA _ Emergency Management
Chemical look alike was instructed by Dani Boone, pharmacist at Brehme Drug.
And University of Iowa AirCare Air Ambulance visited with the Farm Safety attendees and discussed air care’s role in emergency services and first responders.

The event is made possible each year through the generous support of our county’s commodity groups and many local businesses and partners. We appreciate the continued support of Farm Safety programming in Delaware County.

Thanks to University of Iowa AirCare for assisting us with a crash this week. It takes a team, working together, to guarantee the best care for everyone involved.

Perhaps you noticed Wilton Fire Department and Wilton Police Department hosted a special guest tonight. One of the University of Iowa AirCare crews came by for a bit of show and tell, and educated some of our firefighters and EMS personnel on how we can request their services, best utilize their skills, and assist them on-scene. We truly appreciate this unique opportunity to coordinate with other healthcare agencies to best serve our community.

We are very fortunate to work with some AWESOME doctors at UW Health University Hospital, UW Med Flight, Grant Regional Health Center, Southwest Health, UnityPoint Health - Dubuque, MercyOne Dubuque Medical Center, and University of Iowa AirCare, and many more!

UI AirCare was the first hospital based program in the state of Iowa, and the 11th helicopter progr

We would like to wish Dr. James Hart farewell and best of luck as he has completed his EMS fellowship at the University of Iowa. Dr. Hart worked hard providing education and leadership this past year to AirCare and local EMS agencies, as well as our own emergency department at UIHC.
The EMS fellowship prepares highly qualified and motivated academic emergency physicians for medical oversight and leadership in pre-hospital and out-of hospital emergency care systems with advanced competencies in EMS, administration and clinical care.
The University of Iowa Health Care (UIHC) EMS fellowship is directed by Dr. Azeem Ahmed, and the University of Iowa is the only hospital in the state to offer this advanced educational opportunity.

Congratulations, Karla! What a great accomplishment.

Mr. Doug York served as a previous program director of AirCare. Before that, Doug paved the way for paramedics in Iowa as a prehospital medical provider. Doug went on to educate EMS students in a way that only Doug could. Doug’s leadership in the University of Iowa’s EMSLRC was cutting edge, and with his staff they were able to educate and train thousands of EMT’s, paramedics, nurses, and physicians in Iowa and around the world.

After retiring from the EMSLRC Doug served with the Committee on Accreditation for EMS Professions where he visited countless programs to ensure compliance with educational standards. In that role Doug also visited numerous programs throughout the country offering his expertise in educating prehospital professionals.

Doug’s health has recently declined and this post is a tribute to his impact as a man and educator.

The EMS profession and the providers of prehospital medicine are better because of Doug’s vision and dedication to education. Thank you Doug.

The first picture posted is AirCare 1. Why is it special? Because AirCare was on a flight today, just like many days, to transport a critically ill baby.
