As we round out EMS Week, it’s safe to say it’s been a busy one- full of visitors, appreciation, teamwork, and hands-on training!

From welcoming special guests, to celebrating Tri-State Ambulance’s first-ever GUNDIES (more to come), hitting the pavement for the EMS Week Run/Walk 5K, and coming together for valuable quarterly training with the La Crosse County Fire Department, this week has been a great reminder of the dedication, collaboration, and heart that fuel EMS every day. 🚑💙

A week to remember — check out the recap below! 👇

🏅 During EMS Week, we were honored to welcome Dr. Scott Rathgaber, who took time to tour Emplify Health EMS/Tri-State Ambulance and spend time with our team.

In recognition of his leadership and dedication to EMS, he was presented with an Emplify Health EMS Challenge Coin.🪙

And in true Tri-State fashion — because around here we believe in kicks with a cause — Dr. Rathgaber was also surprised with a pair of custom Tri-State Ambulance Dunks. 👟💙💚

Thank you, Dr. Rathgaber, for all you do for Emplify Health EMS and for leading the way!
