EMS as Non-Essential in Idaho with MaKenzie Tiegs

MaKenzie Tiegs is an Idaho paramedic and EMS champion and came in to talk about the movement to educate policy makers and the general public about EMS services being considered and treated as “non-essential” medical services. The vast majority of EMS services are volunteer in the state of Idaho (roughly 70%), and many feel that should change. Enjoy!

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials.
