Today was a special one for us here at WCAD. It marked the opening of our permanent House 3 base station in Belgrade, MO. The south zone ambulance crew boasts a 24/7 Critical Care level paramedic to meet the needs of Caledonia, Belgrade, Cubb Creek/Antioch, Bismarck, and Irondale residents. We couldn’t be more proud.

A little bit of history on this endeavor: It has been a longtime dream of the staff at WCAD to be able to more quickly respond to our residents in the south zone of the county. As many of you know, the south zone is one of our most rural areas with miles upon miles of gorgeous farmland and the most wonderful, helpful, and welcoming people that we have ever been involved with. The small town of Belgrade is a 15 minute response time from our Potosi base, with a longer response to the more rural areas. The extended response time makes all the difference when it comes to critically ill patients. A few years ago, recognizing the need for quicker access, our leadership team made the commitment to open a base station in the south zone. Slowly but surely, with the help of the Turner family and so many others in the Belgrade community, we now have construction underway for a permanent base station at the corner of Highway C and High St. During construction of this permanent station, Sheriff Jacobsen has graciously allowed us to reorganize and utilize the WCSO substation as a place to house crews until construction is completed. This facilitated a full-time ambulance in the south zone about 7 months sooner than anticipated.

We are grateful for all the assistance we received putting this base in service and we are excited to be able to better serve our residents. ... See MoreSee Less
