Today, we recognize and celebrate EMT Lori Barr as she retires after an incredible 25 years of dedicated service to the Boone County Ambulance Authority and the communities we are privileged to serve.

For a quarter of a century, Lori has been part of a profession built on compassion, commitment, and the willingness to be there for others during some of life’s most difficult moments. Twenty-five years of EMS service represents countless calls, long shifts, personal sacrifices, and opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others.

Lori’s career is a reminder that being an EMT is about much more than answering calls. It’s about showing up when people need you most, providing reassurance in uncertain moments, and serving your community with dedication and compassion.

On behalf of the entire Boone County Ambulance Authority, thank you, Lori, for your 25 years of service, your commitment to our community, and the difference you have made throughout your career.

As you begin this next chapter, we wish you a retirement filled with happiness, good health, time with loved ones, and the opportunity to enjoy everything you’ve worked so hard for.

Congratulations on your retirement, Lori! You have earned it, and you will always be part of the BCAA family.

Prepared for the call before the call ever comes.

Continuing education and hands-on training are essential to providing the highest level of care to our patients. From Sunday through Wednesday this week, our EMS clinicians are taking part in quarterly skills evolutions designed to keep their knowledge sharp, their skills current, and our teams prepared for whatever comes their way.

A special thank you to Austin Long with Stryker for providing training on our cardiac monitors, LUCAS, Power Cots, and load systems, and to Trevor Hensley with Putnam County EMS for sharing his expertise in ultrasound training.

We don’t train because we expect the worst. We train because our patients deserve our best when the worst happens.

Proud of our clinicians for continuing to learn, improve, and prepare. đźš‘

Please watch for school buses making frequent stops, children waiting at bus stops, and students walking on or near our roadways. Slow down, stay alert, avoid distractions, and allow yourself a little extra time during your morning and afternoon commute.

Today, five of our providers are doing their final presentations to become EMS instructors to help shape the future of pre-hospital patient care in our state. We take great pride in providing top notch education to our current and future EMS clinicians, these new instructors will help bolster the level of training we’re able to provide at the John “Tony” Workman Training Center in Racine.

Special thanks go out to WV Public Service Training for providing the course and to some of our local partners that have provided lunch to the students each day this week.

Today, we pause to honor the life and legacy of Dreama Epling, a retired paramedic whose dedication to serving the people of Boone County left a lasting impact on our community and our profession.

Throughout her career with the Boone County Ambulance Authority, Dreama answered countless calls for help with compassion, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to caring for others. Her service touched the lives of patients, families, coworkers, and friends, and her contributions will not be forgotten.

On behalf of the Boone County Ambulance Authority, we extend our deepest condolences to Dreama's family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside her during her years of service.

We are grateful for the time, dedication, and heart she gave to emergency medical services and to the citizens of Boone County. Her legacy of service will continue to inspire those who follow in her footsteps.

Rest easy, Dreama. Thank you for your service, your compassion, and the difference you made in so many lives. You will always be remembered.
