We are so proud of our crew!

Meet the crew: EMT Monte has been on the Rushford crew for 2 years. He has 7 years of previous EMT experience when he worked in Winona and Orlando, Florida. Outside of EMS he works on the river in Winona doing grain inspections. When asked what the best part of being in EMS is, Monte says: 'I love being in EMS... I would say the best part is being able to help people in their time of need. Sometimes being the worst day of their lives. I feel I have the demeanor to work through those situations. It's about connection with the people. My favorite part of the department is camaraderie and the commitment to the community. A lot of time and passion is put into this line if work. Only a certain personality type can do it. But it is well worth it!' Monte is a single dad to 3 kids; Henry 16, Easton 13 and Ms. Letti is 10. He said not to forget about the family cat, Luna. Monte says, 'The kids think being on the ambulance is pretty cool. Letti enjoys going to our training meetings. She likes watching what we do. I'm not sure if Luna really cares much. We'll just assume she does. I'm hoping to get into teaching EMT/CPR in the future. Also, I like to keep a sense of humor the best I can. It can help in a lot of situations.' Thank you for all your time and dedication Monte!

Happy EMS Week to the crew! This year’s theme, “Improving Outcomes, Together,” reflects exactly what makes this work so meaningful. We’re proud of our team and grateful for the strong partnerships with the agencies and crews we work alongside every day.

Congratulations to Nate- now our newest EMT!

Meet the crew: Nate has been an EMR/ driver for us for almost 2 years. He joined to help cover driver needs, sharpen his EMR skills, and build relationships with the crew members and the community. For Nate, the best part of being in EMS is the privilege of helping people and working with others who want to do the same. Outside of EMS, Nate is a sergeant for the Rushford Police Department and he is a proud husband and father to a 1 year old. Fun fact about Nate is that he received combat life saver training during his former military career. Nate says, ‘I might arrive to help before the ambulance crew as a police officer, but don’t worry, Paul Corcoran will be here soon!’
Thanks for your service Nate- we appreciate you!

It’s not very often we run two trucks at the same time to two different hospitals. But when we do, we’re sure happy to see each other fueling up!
