This nice plaque was presented to us from the ND State EMS Association, in honor of our dad, and all of the years he gave as a first responder, an EMT, and as an instructor.
Thank you for remembering him. He was honored alongside his good friends and fellow colleagues, Leo Grossman and Jerry Schroeder.

Our local ambulance service is such an asset to this community. Please contribute if you are able!

The Harvey Ambulance Service would like to thank everyone for their support in obtaining our new rig! It arrived at a great time as we have been extremely busy and at times all three rigs are out either on transfers or back-to-back calls. Last month we were at 400 calls and currently at 100 more calls than last year. We couldn't do it without your support!❤

A special thank you to our major contributors:
North Dakota Community Foundation
NDTC
Ottertail Power Company
Verendrye Electric
Anamoose Civic Club
Farm Credit Services
First International Bank and Trust
Harvey Warehouse Grocery
Donations received in memory of Mr. James Reiswig
Leo Rutten Foundation/Toms Home Furnishings
Fessenden Thrift Shop
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
Harvey Eagles Club FOE 3080
Enbridge/Alliance Pipelines
BNSF Railway Foundation

If you would like to support our service, we currently have two major funds we are needing assistance with:
1.) The ambulance replacement fund, which is an ongoing fund as it takes many years to raise this amount
2.) The radio replacement fund: All of our communication devices will be obsolete once the new 5k is online. This will include a new radio in each rig and portable handheld radios. This will be a major expense!

Dontions can be sent to:
1.) Mailed to: Harvey Ambulance Service, PO Box 4, Harvey, ND 58341
2.) Secure online portal at: https://www.harveyambulance.org/

We would like to take this moment to thank all of our local heroes this EMS week: Our doctors, nurses, dispatchers, EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, and police officers. You are so appreciated. May God bless you all.
A special shout-out to Doug Helm for his 35 years of service! Congratulations!

Throwback photo of the Harvey Ambulance Service. Leo is pictured in the front row to the far left. What year do you think this was? any guesses?
