Our Story
Vernon County Ambulance District – Providing Emergency Services Since 1978.
Our Journey
Founded in 1978 by voter approval, Vernon County Ambulance District was established to ensure reliable, high-quality emergency medical care for every resident and visitor in our large rural county. Our district operates from our headquarters at 515 E Walnut St in Nevada, Missouri. Over the decades we have grown from a small volunteer-based service into a professional, fully equipped advanced life support ambulance district that answers thousands of calls each year. We transport patients to leading hospitals in Joplin, Kansas City, and Springfield areas when specialized care is required. Our citizen elected board of directors and dedicated staff remain committed to the original vision: professional, compassionate healthcare delivered in the safest and most efficient manner possible. We live our mission every shift by combining modern technology, continuous training, and heartfelt service to those who depend on us.
