Truman Ambulance

05/17/2026

🚨 Happy EMS week! As we kick off EMS Week, we want to take a moment to recognize every member of the Truman EMS family for the work you do each day across Martin and watonwan county's.

This week is about celebrating the commitment, professionalism, compassion, and resilience that define our crews. The work is not easy. The hours are longer than anyone likes to admit. The expectations are high. Yet every day, you continue to show up for our patients AND each other.

Truman Ambulance has become recognized across the region and state because of the people wearing this patch. From clinical excellence, you continue to set the standard for what modern EMS should look like.

THANK YOU for the sacrifices YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES make. Thank you for serving with pride. And thank you for representing Truman Ambulance with integrity every single day.

We are proud of you, and honored to stand beside you.

Congratulations to our brothers in Mankato on a successful life-saving intervention. Additionally, congratulations to the YMCA staff who promptly identified the cardiac arrest and administered CPR. Congratulations to Bob!

🚨 Life Saving & Medical Intervention Awards 🚨

On January 30, 2026, Mankato Public Safety responded to an unresponsive adult at the YMCA.

Before first responders arrived, YMCA staff members Katie Murphy and Warren Peterson immediately began CPR and used an AED, providing critical, life-saving care in those first moments.

Firefighters Robert Atzenhoefer and Keith Klinder continued advanced care, including airway management and defibrillation, helping the patient regain a pulse before transport.

👏 Please join us in recognizing:
• Katie Murphy – Citizen Life Saving Award
• Warren Peterson – Citizen Life Saving Award
• Firefighter Robert Atzenhoefer – Medical Intervention Award
• Firefighter Keith Klinder – Medical Intervention Award

This is a powerful example of how early action by bystanders, combined with advanced care from first responders, saves lives.
