Nearly 80% of Ozaukee and Sheboygan Counties’ EMS responders are volunteers or paid-on-call, and a vast majority of the counties are rural. This means it takes an average of 5-10 minutes for a first responder to arrive to an emergency in these counties — sometimes double the national average.

Together, we raised $550,000 – including a $125,000 gift from Acuity – to improve the infrastructure for specialized services, provide emergency medical training and empower more people in our communities with lifesaving tools so they can take quick action in emergency situations.
Some of these tools and training include:
