With our Academy Class 26-1 in full swing, it was a good day out in Eagle as our new paramedics and EMTs worked with personnel on vehicle extrication scenarios. Teamwork is paramount on these critical calls, and we hope these reps will serve them well throughout their careers.

Another great afternoon spent at the Ada Community Library Lake Hazel “Touch-a-Truck” event. The unofficial theme in our ambulance today was the importance of wearing your seatbelt. Thanks for having us!

What a great morning yesterday as we were able to participate in the Hidden Springs Truck-a-Rama event. We were able to speak with dozens of kids and their adults about what we do as paramedics and EMTs, as well as show them our cool ambulance. Thanks for having us!

EMS Week is wrapping up for us, and what a week it has been! We have truly appreciated the outpouring of support that our community, our Ada County Commissioners, and our system partners have shown to our paramedics, EMTs, and administrative personnel. We have some amazing people that do amazing work here at , and we are thankful for them all!

Farewell and best wishes, Jacque! Today we said goodbye to Advanced EMT Jacque Cole, who has been with us for almost 21 years. While we are sad to see her go, we are excited for her next chapter and wish her the best. So long, Jacque, we will miss you!

Strong partnerships make stronger communities.
Ada County Paramedics and Micron Technology Emergency Services Team recently came together for a scenario-based training exercise, giving responders from both agencies the opportunity to practice a real-world emergency response in a collaborative setting.
Collaborative, practical training sessions help reinforce our partnerships with system stakeholders and ensure our responders are prepared to keep our community safe every day.

In the EMS world, teamwork and consistent training result in lives saved. It also helps when the bystander who is first on scene happens to be an off-duty paramedic. This was the case in a very serious rollover car crash that happened in South Meridian last year. One of our off-duty medics, Todd, stopped at the scene and provided patient care until crews from ACP Medic 37, Meridian Fire Department Engine 34, and Boise Fire Department Engine 14 arrived to take over. They all worked seamlessly together in addressing serious traumatic injuries sustained from the crash. After more than a month in the hospital, we are happy to report that the patient was released home. Great job and great teamwork by all our ACCESS responders, and way to go Todd, Ali, Cody, and Ammon!

When seconds matter, everyone can make a difference! Recently, Ada County Paramedics partnered with LINC and the Idaho State Independent Living Council to develop and teach a STOP the BLEED class designed specifically for individuals of all abilities. Everyone can be part of the chain of survival! From recognizing an emergency and contacting 9-1-1 to taking simple but lifesaving actions, every link in the chain matters. This class proved something powerful. With the right training and support, everyone can step in and help save a life. When training and education is accessible, it doesn’t just teach skills. It empowers people, builds confidence, and creates more lifesavers in communities.
