LCAD goes to EMS World! 🚑

Six members of the LCAD team recently traveled to Orlando for EMS World — one of the largest EMS conferences in the country.

While there, our team had the opportunity to explore the newest technology and equipment in EMS, attend educational sessions, learn from other professionals across the country, and bring new ideas back home to Lincoln County.

And of course, a little crew bonding along the way never hurts!

We’re proud to invest in our people, stay on the cutting edge of EMS, and continually look for ways to provide the best possible care to our community. What we learn today helps us serve you better tomorrow. ❤️

Six employees. Thousands of EMS professionals. One goal: better patient care. 🚑

🚑 WHY DOES LCAD NEED A BOND?

Providing emergency medical care requires equipment that is reliable, up-to-date, and ready when our community needs it. But that equipment comes with a significant cost.

For example, the cardiac monitors our crews use on every call have been in service for approximately 8 years. New monitors can cost around $65,000 each. As equipment gets older, maintaining and replacing it becomes more challenging while also managing the District’s annual operating budget.

The proposed bond would give LCAD a way to plan for these large, long-term capital needs without having to fund major purchases all at once through the annual operating budget.

Most importantly, this is a No tax rate increase bond.

Our goal is simple: to provide the best possible care to the people of Lincoln County. That means making sure our crews have reliable ambulances, equipment, facilities, and resources when you need us most.

Old equipment can come with challenges. Planning ahead allows us to address those needs and continue providing the level of care our community deserves. 💙🚑

We want our community to understand what the bond is, why it is being proposed, and what it could mean for LCAD and Lincoln County.

SPECIAL NEEDS TRACKING AND AWARENESS RESPONSE SYSTEM

S.T.A.R.S

The ambulance district has joined several others in the St. Louis area that have started a new program called S.T.A.R.S. — Special Need Tracking and Awareness Response System.

The program is for special needs patents especially under the age of 18 and allows the district to be aware of any medical conditions it may encounter when responding to an emergency call.

The S.T.A.R.S. program was founded a few years ago by Shelby Cox, EMS liaison for Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center, and Tricia Casey, a paramedic with Rock Township Ambulance District. Once our district attended a meeting and learned more about the program, our administrators and paramedics agreed it would be beneficial to local families.

To learn more information about the S.T.A.R.S. Program, contact Battalion Chief Janet Norton, Lincoln County Ambulance District STARS Coordinator, at 636-528-8488  ext. 306 or [email protected] or fill out the form below and we will contact you.
