🚨🚨March 25th marked one year of responding out of the EMS Center!🚨🚨
To say this building has been greatly utilized would be an understatement! Since this building has been established we have responded to 513 calls. In one year the building had employees and students staying overnight 197 days.
In the first year of its service this building has hosted the annual Battle of The Badges Blood Drive, the flu shot clinic offered by Redfield Community Memorial Hospital, and Stroke and Heart Screening offered by Transmed. These services were offered to make sure we were doing our best to serve our community.
Our local LEPC chapter has held numerous meetings at the building. This includes the local fire department in our county, our sheriff department, and emergency management. This was very beneficial when it came time to participate in our large scale Decon drill.
We have had numerous CPR classes so far in this building for our local firefighters, daycare providers, and high school students. The Dakota Responder Training that was developed by the late Dr. Matthew Owens has also been a very beneficial training to the community in stopping the bleed, Narcan administration, and AED application. At our grand opening the simulation truck was even kind enough to make a visit.
We just finished up our largest EMT class we have ever had in our service last week. These students will not only help our community but will also be able to help the surrounding communities in our county and beyond.
We can not say thank you enough for supporting this project and our service as a whole!
