View Award Description

Upper Pine River Fire Protection District's Education Department (ED) Program - with an emphasis on marginalized populations - Upper Pine River Fire Protection District (UPRFPD) Education Department has expanded Emergency Medical Service (EMS) education for residents of the District and will increase learning opportunities to the rural population with with a focus on traditionally underrepresented populations, as defined in a Behavioral Health Disparity Impact Statement. Through the Education Department (ED) program, rural students from the 284 square miles of eastern La Plata and Archuleta County, Colorado will engage in primary and continuing education /advanced EMS certification. This program will allow students to access course material without driving to a city offering collegiate-level classes. In these rural areas, emergency calls take longer to respond to, and the transport time to definitive intervention for critical patients can be extended, necessitating a higher provider level working the calls. Some EMS courses are already offered in the District, but many student find the cost of living in the San Juan Basin prohibitaively expensive to taking on additional education courses. UPRFPD will collaborate with mutual-aid fire agencies to allow students to participate in EMS education at the UPRFPD classroom. This collaboration allows students to do some classwork closer to home for an estimated 50 students annually. It will provide supplies, equipment, and training on specific medications that will benefit populations at risk for Alcohol or Substance Use Disorder. Principles from social distancing have given the ED program ideas on effectively connecting and teaching residents interested in learning and furthering EMS skills.
