Today we honor the firefighters and EMTs who showed the world what courage looks like. On 9/11, thousands fled danger — and responders moved toward it. Not because they were fearless, but because duty demanded it.

We remember the 343 firefighters, the 71 officers, and every medic who gave everything so others had a chance. Their legacy isn’t just in what they did that day, but in how we choose to serve today — with the same steadiness, the same compassion, and the same readiness.

May we carry their example forward in every call we answer. That is how we honor them. That is how we remember.

Congratulations to Steph Hill, our latest recipient of the Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses! 🌼

Steph, an RN in our Emergency Department since 2024, was nominated by a patient for the extraordinary compassion, reassurance and genuine care she provided during a difficult and vulnerable moment. Steph’s thoughtful actions left a lasting impact and demonstrated the profound difference a compassionate nurse can make.

In the nomination, the patient wrote, "Steph was one of three individuals who saved my life that day and she deserves to be recognized publicly for it. She wasn't required to do any of that or give the empathy and genuine care she provided. From the bottom of my heart, I will forever be grateful for this beautiful human."

The Lansing Emergency Medical Services Board has reviewed the special investigation report released by the Iowa Auditor of State.

The report examined records and transactions covering the period from 2019 through 2025 and identified concerns related primarily to volunteer recognition activities, documentation, record retention, and governance practices.

We appreciate the Auditor's Office for its work and the opportunity to improve our organization. Since January 2025, a dedicated group of EMS volunteers has worked diligently alongside state and county officials to strengthen financial oversight, improve documentation and recordkeeping practices, and enhance organizational governance. Their commitment reflects a shared goal of ensuring Lansing EMS remains a trusted and sustainable service for the communities we proudly serve.

We also want to express our sincere gratitude to the EMS staff and volunteers who continue to serve our communities. Rural Iowa depends on volunteers willing to answer emergency calls day and night, and attracting and retaining those individuals is one of the greatest challenges facing emergency services today. Their dedication to caring for our neighbors during some of life's most difficult moments should not be overlooked.

We view this report as an opportunity to learn, improve, and strengthen our organization. We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and ensuring Lansing EMS continues to provide reliable emergency medical services to our communities for years to come.
