If you know any emergency medical service workers, you know “dedication” is their middle name. Certification requires 240 hours of training and at least 24 contacts with patients in a hospital setting. EMS teams provide urgent pre-hospital treatment and stabilization for serious illnesses and injuries, as well as transportation to more comprehensive care.
Recently the Black Hills Energy team in Spencer, Iowa, supported the EMS team in Primghar, Iowa, by making a financial donation to help them reach their goal and purchase a new ambulance. The small, dedicated crew in Primghar responds to more than 250 calls each year in Primghar and surrounding communities.
The new, state-of-the-art ambulance is on order and should be in service sometime this May.
A big thank you to EMS crews everywhere, and to our Spencer employees!
