Today marks day one of Advanced EMT school for three of our own—and not just coworkers, but siblings! That’s something you don’t see every day.

Lane, Sylvanna, and Kyle Williams each bring a great attitude, strong work ethic, and a real passion for EMS to everything they do. Their decision to continue their education and push themselves further in this field says a lot about who they are.

We’re proud to have them as part of the Ozark EMS family and wish them the best of luck as they take on Advanced EMT school. We know they’re going to do great! 🚑👏

🎄🚑 Ozark EMS Christmas Party 🚑🎄

Last night, Ozark EMS gathered to celebrate the season and reflect on an incredible year at our Christmas party held at The Fox Den in downtown Ozark. The venue was absolutely beautiful and provided the perfect setting for a memorable evening with our EMS family.

We were honored to have Mayor Ward in attendance and truly appreciate his continued support of Ozark EMS and our mission. A huge thank you goes to Megan DiFilippo for catering the event and to Heath Clark for cooking the meat—everything was fantastic and helped make the night a success. Thank you to everyone that contributed to our event.

The evening also gave us the opportunity to recognize excellence within our department. Congratulations to Trinity Childs, our BLS Provider of the Year, and Sydney Wortham, our ALS Provider of the Year. We were also proud to once again recognize Tyler Kramer as our Employee of the Year, an honor that reflects his dedication and commitment to our team and community.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Chief Jason Maertens for his leadership, guidance, and unwavering support throughout the year. His dedication continues to move our department forward.

We are incredibly thankful for the year we’ve had, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the team that makes it all possible. We look forward to an even stronger and more successful 2026. ❤️🚑

🌞 Stay Safe in the Summer Heat! 🚑
As temperatures rise, so does the risk of heat-related illnesses. Ozark EMS is here to remind you: Heat emergencies can happen fast — but they’re preventable.

🔥 Tips to Beat the Heat:
✅ Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
✅ Avoid strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day (10 AM - 4 PM).
✅ Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothes.
✅ Never leave children or pets in parked vehicles — not even for a minute!
✅ Check on elderly neighbors and those without air conditioning.

⚠️ Know the signs of heat exhaustion:

Heavy sweating

Weakness or dizziness

Nausea or vomiting

Headache

If symptoms progress to confusion, fainting, or hot, dry skin — call 9-1-1 immediately.

Stay cool, stay safe — and enjoy your summer responsibly! 🌊
