2024 is a special year for the Lisbon-Mount Vernon Ambulance Service, not only because it is the 50th year since former President Gerald Ford proclaimed the first EMS Week to celebrate and educate the importance of Emergency Medical Services, but because 2024 marks the 50th year of operation for the Lisbon-Mount Vernon Ambulance Service. Since its first volunteer meeting in 1974, LMVAS has been staffed by more than 400 members (mostly volunteers) of varying certification to provide response to our community. Not mentioned in the names below are the hundreds of supporters including family, boosters, board members, and medical directors who helped make the last 50 years possible for LMVAS. In 50 years, LMVAS has evolved from an Emergency Medical Technician – Ambulance (EMT-A) service to a Critical Care Paramedic service known as one of the premier rural ambulance services in the State of Iowa. The 50th anniversary theme of honoring our past and forging our future celebrates the members whose shoulders we stand on, while acknowledging the hard work today’s members continue to provide to make the Lisbon-Mount Vernon Ambulance known for Excellence in EMS!
