Our Governing Board
Valley Countywide EMS District is governed by its own board of elected commissioners and is no longer overseen by the Valley County Commissioners.
These three elected EMS district commissioners now meet monthly, rather than annually, to oversee the operations of the district allowing for better oversight and management.
- The formation of the EMS District by voters in November of 2023, was the first step in improving emergency services in Valley County.
- The second step remains to gain voter approval for adequate funding to serve a growing community with modern medical needs.
EMS services are managed by local fire departments.
The Valley Countywide EMS District enhances community safety and improves
emergency response by combining medical services with fire departments, making the emergency system more efficient.
- This collaboration helps reduce costs and creates a united team of first responders trained in both firefighting and medical care.
- With team members skilled in various areas, they can respond quickly during emergencies, ensuring residents receive prompt and coordinated care.
