Our EMT Il-student EMT class continues to perform exceptionally well and will wrap up the end of May. They continue to impress our three instructors with how quickly they are picking up the material in our over 1000-page textbook.
On March 29th, we held a successful car seat/booster seat/harness check event with parents showing up at our station to verify that things were installed correctly. Our two certified specialists will continue to offer this service in the future.
We'd love to thank the community for your support at our Bridger Brewing Pint Night fundraiser. Between the silent auction and the Brewery's $1 per pint donations, we raised over $4000!
Upcoming Events:
> Mammogram Bus from St. James Healthcare. On Tuesday, April 29, from 10 am-2 pm, the Get On Board bus will be at our station performing state-of-the art mammograms. Appointments are approximately 20 minutes and are covered by most insurances.
> Each Wednesday in April, we will have EMS personnel, including students from our EMT class, at the library from 10-12 pm taking vitals (blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiration rate, and blood glucose) for free. They can also verify that your home blood pressure cuff is measuring properly. Stop by and get a free check!
As a non-profit organization, Three Forks Area Ambulance operates without tax levies.
Our service is supported solely through insurance billing, donations, and grants. In 2024, we received 340 calls for service, resulting in 144 hospital transports. Our dedicated volunteer EMTs and drivers continue to work tirelessly to meet our community's emergency medical needs. We appreciate your ongoing support. Please see our website, 3faa.org, if you are interested in supporting our mission financially or as a volunteer.
