This week we would like to recognize Casie Carson!

Casie started working at RPS in April of 2014 after becoming an EMT. She started out on the only BLS truck in St. Clair county. Casie was moved to an ALS truck in Pell City later that year. She’s since been stationed at every base in St. Clair county on almost every shift. After becoming a paramedic in March of 2025 she’s been riding on the Odenville truck on C shift.

Casie currently lives in Ashville with her 16 year old son, Ryan, and her fiancé, Joshua Boggan. She’s recently engaged to get married at the end March.

Her free time is spent with her fiancé, son, and two dogs: Calypso (aka Callie-menace to society) and Reginald (aka Reggie-doesn’t have the brain cells to be anything but sweet.) Congregating with friends, hiking, and going on outdoor adventures are some of their favorite activities.

She’s been accepted into Gadsden State Community College to tackle some prerequisites before applying to nursing school. Landing a position in home healthcare or as a hospice nurse is something she hopes to accomplish. “As much as I would love to work on the truck until I retire, I physically can’t. I wish I could be more like Forest Adams. He’s exceptional and a rare breed!”

Thank you, Casie, for all you do!

This week we want to recognize Amanda Kiser.

Amanda is married to Mike Kiser, a fellow EMT and the Police Chief of Uniontown, Alabama. She also owns AK Custom Cakes. A fun fact about Amanda, she appeared on Ultimate Cake Off in 2010 and created a 6 foot firefighter cake completely out of cake!

Thank you, Amanda, for everything you do!

⭐️ Employee Spotlight of the Week ⭐️

Corey Holden joined RPS on October 19, 2015, as a member of the BLS division. Shortly thereafter, he began picking up some ALS shifts before transferring to ALS as a full time driver. After some time on ALS, BLS needed some experienced hands to help steer the ship. Corey stepped up and moved back to the BLS division to be a role model and mentor for the crew members that were coming in, many of whom this was their first introduction to the medical field. Corey takes great pride in training people to be their best as well as to watch them continue to grow in their career. Over the years, Corey has become a fixture in the BLS division, and works very hard to bring his best effort to everything he does. Second best is not acceptable for him.

When he is not at work, he is very involved with his family and spends as much time with them as possible. Other off duty enjoyments for him include riding motorcycles, hunting, and fishing. Whether at work or as home, Corey tries to live life to the fullest, squeezing joy out of every moment of time he is given.

Thank you Corey for 10 years of dedicated service to Regional Paramedics and the surrounding communities !

This week we’re spotlighting Jonathan “J.T.” Spears!

J.T. joined RPS in 2023 as an Advanced EMT and went on to attend RTI for Paramedic school, graduating just a year later. He’s spent his time serving Jefferson County, mainly out of the Hueytown station.

When he’s off duty, J.T. enjoys hanging out with his cat, going to the movies, and taking care of his fish tanks. He plans to continue growing his career by moving into flight service in the future.

We’re glad to have J.T. on the team. Thanks for everything you do! 🚑👏

Say hello to this week’s Employee of the Week, Alicia Holt!

Alicia started with us back in 2017 as an EMT on a BLS truck in Homewood. After a couple of years, she made the move to ALS in Jasper and has been pushing herself ever since. She earned her AEMT in 2022, became a Paramedic in 2024, and even picked up her TP-C in 2025. Of course, she’s not stopping there... FP-C is next on her list.

Alicia is the youngest of three and loves her two nieces and two nephews that her brothers and their wonderful spouses have brought into the family.

When she’s not on the clock, you can usually find her reading, drawing, or painting when the inspiration hits.

Alicia’s long-term goal is to get into EMS education, and knowing her drive, we’re sure she’ll get there. She is already training new employees in her role as FTO-Relief Supervisor. We’re proud to have her on our team and happy to celebrate her this week!

RPS would like to thank the Entire Chilton County Commission and the Commissioners, Butch Billingsley , Allen Williams , Roger Perkins, and all the other Commissioners, Sheriff John Shearon, Chilton Co. 911, and all the local Fire Departments for helping secure a dedicated ambulance service to the Citizens of Chilton County. It's been a long, but methodical process, and compromises were made on both sides of the table. With the ever rising cost of doing business, especially in rural areas, and tightening budgets, the Commission was able to help RPS financially in order to sustain service and provide for its citizens. As we move forward there will be more initiatives to help improve service and response times to the patients that need it the most. We will continue to work with the commission and the local fire departments to provide good quality care to ALL citizens of Chilton County. We will continue to look for ways to make things better! Rural EMS is in dire shape and your commission took a huge step to helping overcome that hurdle. Happy Thanksgiving and please stay safe!

Please continue to pray for them. We love you Whit!

From Whitney Lane

Our hearts are so heavy today as we walk a road we never imagined. Our sweet boy Wesson has fought with everything he had. This TBI… the pain, the trauma… it has been so unfair. But even through it all, Wesson has shown us the purest kind of strength.

If you knew Wesson, you knew that rowdy spirit.
That wild little spark in him.
The way he could turn an ordinary day into a full-blown adventure. He was always chaos with a cause.
The laughter that filled rooms and the smile that could melt anyone’s heart.

He was joy wrapped in a boy.
He was mischief and magic.
He was softness and chaos all in one.
And he is ours. Forever ours. We have always told Wes it’s his world we just live in it. I am afraid of what that life looks like without him.

Today, we will begin transitioning him into palliative care. We will go slow, at our pace, guided by love and tenderness. He will be surrounded by our hands, our voices, our prayers… and all the love that has held him since the moment we first met him.

Wesson made the decision on his own to be an organ donor even at his young age, he had a heart that always wanted to help others. And we will honor that. Our boy will give life, hope, and healing to families who are praying for a miracle. Even in this hardest moment, he is shining his light. That is who he has always been.

This doesn’t feel like giving up.
This feels like placing our baby gently into the Lord’s arms, trusting that God has bigger plans for Wesson beyond anything we can see here on earth. His time here, though far too short, was filled with purpose, love, and a presence that changed us forever.

Wesson’s rowdy ways, that smile, that laugh those things will stay with us for the rest of our years on this earth. His presence will never leave our home or our hearts. He will walk with us in every step, every memory, every whispered prayer. We will carry him, and he will carry us.

Please keep our family wrapped in your prayers.
Pray for peace.
Pray for strength.
Pray that we continue to feel Wesson’s love around us as we honor his journey with as much grace as we can.

Thank you for loving our boy. 🤍🙏
Thank you for praying over him and over us.
