The first stretch of summer heat is here—and temperatures are expected to climb across Tulsa and Oklahoma City this weekend.

Stay ready with these heat safety tips:
•💧 Hydrate regularly
🧢 Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing
❄️ Take breaks in air-conditioned spaces
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Check on family, neighbors, and those at higher risk
⚠️ Know the signs of heat illness (dizziness, nausea, confusion, rapid pulse)

As temperatures rise, preparation matters. Stay aware, take precautions, and help us keep our communities safe during this first wave of summer heat.

🩸🐾 Blood Drive + Four-Legged VIPs 🐾🩸

During EMS Week, EMSA team members across Tulsa and OKC made 42 life-saving blood donations.

And the highlight? Our Blood Institute “bloodhounds,” Sunflower and Persis, stopped by—bringing big tail wags, big smiles, and all the puppy love while cheering on our donors. 🐶❤️

We’re proud of our team for always showing up—for our patients and our community.

💙 EMSA Team Members are Making a Difference, Together 💙

A huge thank you to our friends at Infant Crisis Services for the opportunity to serve this week!
Our EMSA team rolled up their sleeves and got to work, packaging:
👶 235 packs of size 4 diapers (9,400 diapers)
👶 125 packs of size 6 diapers (5,000 diapers)

That’s enough to support 360 babies and toddlers for an entire week!

We’re proud to give back to the communities we serve—because caring for our community goes beyond the call. 💙🚑

Congratulations to Our Latest FTEP Graduates! 👏💙

We’re proud to celebrate the successful completion of our Field Training & Evaluation Program (FTEP)! This incredible group includes 24 EMTs and 1 Paramedic—with 11 EMTs coming straight from our in-house EMT Program.

Together, they completed 5 weeks of academy training followed by an additional week with our FTEP team, sharpening their skills in team dynamics, advanced narrative writing, and driving techniques.

Next stop: the field. These team members will begin ride time with our Field Training Officers and preceptors as they continue their journey toward independent practice.

Your dedication and hard work are already making a difference—we’re excited to see all you accomplish.

Congratulations and welcome to the next step! 🚑🔥

This Memorial Day, EMSA honors the lives lost in service to our nation. Their sacrifice is a reminder of the responsibility we carry each day—to serve our communities with purpose, professionalism, and respect.

💙 Giving Back in Action 💙

Our EMSA team spent time volunteering at Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma in Tulsa and Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma in OKC during EMS Week, coming together to make a real impact in our community.

In OKC, we packed 1,560 meals to help support children in need—because serving doesn’t stop when we’re off the ambulance. In Tulsa, we packed an incredible 3,425 pounds of potatoes for distribution to families in need—turning a simple staple into meaningful support for our neighbors.

So proud of our team for showing up and giving back where it matters most. 👏🥫
