🎀 SCHUYLER COUNTY, LET’S PAINT SOME YARDS! 🎀

We’re halfway through October, and we need YOUR help making this year’s Pink, Blue, & Every Hue Ribbon Bombing Fundraiser a success! 💗💙

This year, we’re doing things a little differently! Instead of focusing on just one type of cancer, we’re coming together for ALL cancers right here in Schuyler County. Because cancer doesn’t discriminate, and no family should have to face that fight alone. ❤️

Here’s where YOU come in! 👇

🎀 Want to surprise someone with a yard full of ribbons?

🎀 Want to show support for a friend, family member, or neighbor fighting cancer?

🎀 Want to help make a difference for someone right here in our own community?

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE! Whether you order a Ribbon Bomb, purchase anti-yard insurance, or simply SHARE this post, every little bit helps us support a Schuyler County resident battling cancer.

📣 Let’s get Schuyler County involved! Tag your friends, share this post, and help us spread the word. You never know who might need a little extra love and support right now.

📌 Check out the attached flyer for all the details on how to participate and order!

Let’s show our neighbors what it means to be part of a community that takes care of its own. Let’s fill those yards with ribbons, spread some love, and remind someone they aren’t fighting alone.

🚑 Behind Every Call Is a Team Working Together!

Tonight, the Schuyler County Ambulance District team received valuable training from our incredible billing partners at First Claims!

While providing patient care is always our top priority, what happens after the call matters, too! Proper and accurate documentation ensures that the care we provide is clearly recorded, supports appropriate billing and reimbursement, and helps protect the financial sustainability of our district so we can continue serving our community.

Our partnership with First Claims goes far beyond billing. They are a vital part of the SCAD team and our day-to-day operations, helping us navigate the complexities of EMS billing, improve our documentation practices, and ensure the behind-the-scenes work is just as strong as the care delivered in the field.

A successful ambulance service takes more than ambulances and medical providers. It takes a team of dedicated people working together, both on the front lines and behind the scenes, to keep our service moving forward!

A huge THANK YOU to First Claims for investing your time and knowledge into our team tonight. We appreciate this partnership and all you do to help SCAD continue providing care to the people of Schuyler County! ❤️

One team. One mission. Serving Schuyler County! 🚑

SESSION 7: EVERY DAY TRIAGE!🚦

We’re back at it with Session 7 of our joint training with Queen City Fire Department!

This week, we focused on Every Day Triage - learning how to quickly assess patients, identify priorities, and make good decisions when multiple patients or competing needs are present.

Why does this matter? Because EMS and Fire don’t work in separate lanes when a call happens. We work as one team. Training together helps us understand each other’s roles, communicate more effectively, and build the trust and teamwork we need when our community is counting on us.

🚑 Better communication.
🚒 Better teamwork.
🧠 Better decision-making.
❤️ Better service for our community.

The more we train together, the better prepared we are to work together when it matters most.

A huge thank you to Queen City Fire Department for continuing to train alongside us and invest in our community!

7 sessions down… and we’re not done yet!

Stay tuned for Session 8 next week!

WHO ARE YOU GOING TO RIBBON BOMB?

That’s right, Schuyler County… we’re back, but we’ve changed things up a little!

This year, our annual Flocking for a Cure fundraiser is becoming PINK, BLUE & EVERY HUE - Cancer Ribbon Bombing!

From October 1st–31st, you can surprise someone with a yard full of colorful cancer ribbons for just $25. And yes, if you’d rather protect your yard from the ribbon invasion, Anti-Yard Insurance is available for $15.

Your neighbor? Your best friend? A family member? Your coworker? Maybe someone who just needs a little reminder that the community is behind them? You pick the yard - we’ll bring the ribbons!

Most importantly, 100% of the proceeds will go to a Schuyler County resident currently battling cancer. This year, we’re supporting ALL types of cancer because cancer doesn’t discriminate, and neither should our support.

We’re also excited to have Lori Drennan design our SCAD team shirts for the month of October this year. We’ll be proudly wearing Pink, Blue & Every Hue as we ribbon bomb our way across Schuyler County!

Check out the flyer for all the details and get your Ribbon Bomb order in!

Let’s make Schuyler County a little more colorful this October!

PINK. BLUE. EVERY HUE.
ONE COMMUNITY FIGHTING CANCER TOGETHER.

❤️ A Gift That Can Truly Save a Life ❤️

Schuyler County Ambulance District would like to give a huge and heartfelt thank you to community member Dave Irvin for his incredibly generous donation of two AEDs and mounting cabinets to our community.

Because of Dave’s generosity, two important locations in Schuyler County now have an AED readily available when every second matters:

📍 Cousins Cafe and Coffee
📍 Lancaster Senior Housing

An AED is more than a piece of medical equipment-it can be the difference between life and death when someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest. When cardiac arrest happens, the chances of survival decrease with every minute that passes without defibrillation. Having an AED nearby means community members, employees, visitors, or bystanders have access to a lifesaving tool before an ambulance can arrive.

For a rural community like Schuyler County, having AEDs placed throughout our county is especially important. We know our crews work hard to respond as quickly as possible, but an AED located close to where an emergency happens can give someone a fighting chance during those critical first few minutes.

Dave’s donation doesn't just put two AEDs on the wall-it puts two more opportunities to save a life in our community. It is an investment in our neighbors, our families, our friends, and the people who call Schuyler County home.

Dave, thank you for seeing a need in our community and stepping up to make a difference. Your generosity will have an impact far beyond the day these AEDs were donated, and we are incredibly grateful for your support of Schuyler County and the people we serve. ❤️

And while having an AED nearby is incredibly important, knowing what to do when an emergency happens is just as important. Schuyler County Ambulance District is proud to offer FREE Community CPR Training to help our community members feel prepared to respond when someone needs help.

👉 For information about FREE Community CPR Training, please visit www.schuylerems.com or contact our Business Office at 660-303-6570.

This is what community looks like-people coming together to look out for one another and give others a better chance when they need it most.

From all of us at Schuyler County Ambulance District: Thank you, Dave! 🚑❤️
