Overview

Mission

To deliver our community the most efficient ambulance response and superior pre-hospital patient care through excellence in training, the latest equipment and advanced technology in conjunction with strong leadership, team building, professionalism and continuous quality improvement.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ambulance services provided to residents in the eyota area not serviced by other providers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
