I have lived in this Community for 51 years, became an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) in 1999.  In 2003, I began serving as the Kiowa County Ambulance Director.

We are all doing what we can to limit the spread of COVID-19. With social distancing and staying at home, the risk of infection is less.
