Paramedic Wendy Long escorts the Tidstrom sisters Corbyn, Landry and Collins along witha neighbor, Emerson Weber, to school at Dakota Prairie Elementary on Dec. 18.
The Tidstroms were gifted an ambulance ride-along from James and Ann Fay, winners of Brookings Health System Foundations ambulance ride-along to work or school as part of the South Dakota Day of Giving campaign. Thanks to the communitys generosity and a $10,000 match from Medary Acres Greenhouses, Brookings Health System Foundation raised over $27,000 to help offset the significant inflationary cost of a new advanced life support ambulance.
Those interested in donating toward the ambulance purchase can still give online at brookingshealth.org/SDGives.
