Compassionate advanced life support for the citizens and visitors of Stokes County. Serving our community, in the scenic foothills of North Carolina, 24/7.

Treating your family like our own.

09/11/2026

For many of us, the events of September 11, 2001, are etched in memory as a defining moment—one that awakened a profound call to serve something greater than ourselves.

Across our agency those moments carry a deeply personal weight: some of our team members answered that call by enlisting in the military, entering emergency services, or public safety, while others carry the legacy of parents and loved ones who stepped up in the wake of that tragedy.

Today, Stokes County EMS pauses to honor the innocent lives lost, the families forever altered, and the extraordinary selflessness shown in our darkest of hours.

We remember the first responders and ordinary citizens who ran toward danger, and we honor the ongoing commitment of those who continue to serve in uniform across our country and abroad.

Time moves forward, but the memory of those who fell—and the unity that pulled us through—remains unbroken.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Our entire team at Stokes County EMS is heartbroken to learn of the line-of-duty death of Cleveland County EMS Paramedic and Field Training Officer Ashley Moore.

We recognize the profound weight of this loss, and join our colleagues across the region in mourning a dedicated professional who spent nine years serving her community with honor.

Ashley’s loss serves as a sobering reminder of the inherent dangers associated with our profession that few outside our community may fully comprehend.

We also wish to extend our deepest gratitude to the first responders in Gaston County who rendered aid to Ashley following the accident. We hold you in our thoughts, appreciating the immense burden of providing care to one of your own during such a tragic and traumatic event.

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Ashley Moore: please know that the men and women of Stokes County EMS are standing with you as you navigate this unimaginable time.

Rest easy, Paramedic Moore. Your service, your mentorship, and your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
💚💙🧡

Deep Experience, Rooted in Excellence 🚑 Welcome to the team, Paramedic Matthew Smallwood!

When you combine a decade of clinical experience with a genuine heart for service, you get the kind of provider that elevates an entire department.

We are thrilled to introduce Matthew as the newest addition to our Stokes County EMS team!

Matthew arrives with an impressive 11-year track record in the industry. For the past decade, he has operated at the top of his credentials as a Paramedic. His journey is marked by a unique blend of perspectives: spending 3 years sharpening his diagnostic precision within the walls of a hospital Emergency Department, balanced by 8 years on the front lines of the ambulance.

That depth of experience—seeing the full spectrum of patient care from stabilization to definitive treatment—brings a seasoned, calm confidence to our units.

🛠️ Culture and progress are BUILT by design at Stokes County EMS!

We know that clinicians like Matthew, who have navigated the complexities of both the ED and the field for over a decade, know the toll this profession can take. They don't just need a job; they need a system that respects their expertise and protects their longevity.

By prioritizing "The Space In Between," we ensure that our providers have the intentional recovery time necessary to thrive. We’ve designed our environment—anchored by our 24/72 shift rotation—to match the caliber of the clinicians we hire. Because when our team is rested and supported, the community receives the highest tier of care possible.

We are building a legacy of rural medicine where elite experience meets the support it deserves.

Welcome to the family, Matthew! Let’s show him some Stokes County love—drop a warm welcome in the comments below!

The Path to Paramedicine: Foundational Growth 🚑🌟 Welcome to the team, Paramedic Jared Friday!

Jared’s journey to the field didn’t happen overnight. It was built through six years of dedicated service in the hospital environment, including tech roles in critical care units like the ICU. That experience provided the clinical bedrock that shapes his path, guiding him from his time as an EMT to his newly minted Paramedic credentials.
Jared is ready to bring that steady, experienced perspective to our community. 🌳✨

Culture and progress are BUILT by design at Stokes County EMS! 🛠️

We believe that great clinicians aren't just found; they are developed through intentional support. For providers like Jared, we offer an environment that values the years spent learning the clinical landscape from the ground up.
By prioritizing "The Space In Between," we ensure our providers have the intentional time to recover and recharge. Our 24/72 shift rotation is designed to respect the human side of high-stakes medicine, ensuring our team is always sharp, prepared, and ready to meet our neighbors on their worst days. 🩺💪

We don’t just fill slots—we build a team. We are creating a legacy of rural medicine that emphasizes sustainable careers and long-term clinical growth.

BUILT in the foothills.
BUILT on tradition.
BUILT for the future.

Welcome to the family, Jared!

There is a profound peacefulness that exists in “the space in between.”

It can be found in moments like these, when the sirens are silent, looking out towards Danbury from our station in Walnut Cove.

The space in between is a rainstorm moving across the foothills & the daylight dancing through the clouds, as it races towards nightfall.

It’s where we are still.
It’s where we are present.
It’s where we are always ready to be the calm in the storm.

We are BUILT for this.

Another Sunset Sunday.
