I traveled to Casey County to do a ride along when I was a brand new EMT. I was very favorably impressed. The crews were super friendly and professional with their patients.
Although facing the challenges of being short-staffed and tight budgeted like almost all other rural ambulance services, Casey County Ambulance Service is proving outstanding ALS service to the citizens and communities of Casey County. Most of the equipment was more up to date than other rural agencies. All the equipment on the truck was in great condition. I observed the supervisor's interactions with the staff and there was obvious mutual respect. The EMTs and Paramedics treated their patients and co workers like family. Everyone remained cool and collected, even in very stressful situations.
No one wants to be the person having to call an ambulance but a kind, friendly, and professional EMS team is comforting when it does come to that point.
The citizens of Casey County are fortunate to have the dedicated ladies and gentlemen that work for the ambulance service who are willing to sacrifice sleep, family time, hobbies, and many other activities to serve their community as emergency medical service. They are a great team of people who go "above and beyond" to serve others.
Thank you for your service!
