CCEMS Employee Spotlight: Lori Lasher

Position: PT Driver

Years at CCEMS: 36 years (18 years EMT, 11 years Paramedic, and 7 years Driver)

What Made You Get Into EMS?: Shortly after I started at Stewart Memorial in 1988, they had a class to become an EMT and I want to become a part of their service and be available to our community when needed.

One fun fact about Lori: I was red-shirted in Kindergarten because I kept running away at recess to try to get to Rockwell City (from Lake City) where my mom worked, because I didn't want to go to the babysitter's house after school. A couple of times, I got as far as where Opportunity Living is currently located east of Lake City, before being caught and brought back. The second year of Kindergarten went better.

CCEMS appreciates all you do, Lori!
