The Archuleta County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a contribution to EMS for 2025.
Did you know EMS workers are not considered essential services at the federal level?
In any community, EMS is essential. But in a rural community like Archuleta County, it can truly be a matter of life and death.
In urban areas, transport time to the hospital averages 3–5 minutes.
In rural communities like Archuleta County, that transport time can range from 20–45 minutes.
This is why supporting EMS matters.
Thank you to our First Responders for your dedication, service, and commitment to our community.
