"We're Here for Life"

A Message from the Chief

Welcome to the new and improved Valle Ambulance District web site. We are one of five ambulance districts serving Jefferson County, Missouri with the largest coverage area of 233 square miles. We are a third service paramedic agency that delivers critical public health and public safety service on the front lines of the community health system. Valle Ambulance District has proudly been serving the visitors, citizens and communities since 1977. Currently, Valle Ambulance District employs over 35 employees who all serve the communities of Desoto, Hillsboro, Victoria, Grandview, Hematite and Goldman as well as the unincorporated parts of Southern Jefferson County 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
 

Valle Ambulance District prides itself on being a clinically sophisticated and progressive paramedic service. The implementation of numerous clinical initiatives, including pre-hospital 12-lead ECG interpretation, drug facilitated intubations, and delivery of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatments have resulted in tangible improvements to the care we deliver to our community. In today’s age of overwhelmed hospital emergency departments, we also play a critical role in activating special resources before the patient arrives at the receiving hospital. We specialize in operating and delivering services at the critical juncture of public health and public safety. The compassion and dedication of our Paramedics exemplifies our motto of “Your Life is Our Mission" 24 hours at a time.
 

Our mission has extended beyond emergency medical response. Valle Ambulance District has been actively involved in FEMA Deployments to help out our neighbors locally and nationally wherever help is needed.

We also provide public information, injury prevention and education opportunities to keep our community safe. Valle Ambulance District attends community events to deliver programs such as the Docu Drama for high school prom night, “Vial of Life program for seniors and those with special needs. Our CPR/AED, First Aid training program, Pediatric Advanced Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support is accredited as a Community Training Site by the American Heart Association through St. Francis Medical Center out of Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
 

Valle Ambulance District also provides medical support and coordination during major sports or special events throughout the year. Our agency has coordinated the medical coverage of the Jefferson County Fair as well as several other regional events that take place at the Jefferson County Civic Center. Valle Ambulance District participates in standbys for high school events, and dignitary protection details for several local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
 

In order to continue to meet the public expectations for our service, the demands for individuals interested in serving with our agency are high. We routinely accept applications from Nationally Registered paramedics – Licensed State of Missouri Paramedics, and encourage those interested in helping us make a difference to review the information contained in these pages.
