Hi, I am Jodi Jewett an Advanced EMT for Grand View Ambulance.
I have been a resident of Grand View for 23 years. We have four children and two grandchildren. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration with a Concentration in Healthcare Management. Over the past 20 years, I have developed a strong interest in learning within the healthcare and naturopathic fields. In 2018, I was fortunate to pursue additional education through an EMT course offered by Grand View Ambulance. Within a year and a half, I sought to advance my skills and enrolled in a class in Boise to obtain my Advanced EMT certification. Since 2019, I have been working full-time for Elmore Ambulance Service as an Advanced EMT. In 2022, I earned my instructor license, enabling me to teach EMT courses, as well as becoming a CPR instructor. Currently, I am teaching in a training program for Grand View Ambulance with 12 students who will become new EMTs this July. I truly enjoy this career and am grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community as a volunteer.
In 2023, Grand View Ambulance Directors approached me about taking on a leadership role as an EMS Coordinator. I accepted the position, primarily focusing on supply management, EMT education, and handling any necessary paperwork to ensure our ambulance services remain compliant with state licensing requirements. I am very grateful for the retired EMTs who have paved the way for the success of our ambulance service. George and Donna Bennett established a legacy over 50 years ago for this community, and we sincerely appreciate their many years of volunteer service and dedication. Their efforts have helped build a program that we are committed to continuing, growing, and improving.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, traveling, and engaging in various crafts. We have a passion for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and relaxing on our property in Featherville. Additionally, gardening and canning occupy much of my time during the summer and fall months.
