PACT EMS

Big enough to provide, small enough to care.

UI Vandal Homecoming Hometown Hero of the Game Award

As a small ambulance company, you hope that the little things you do each day to help others will have a ripple effect and make life better for your patients and your community. This fall we witnessed as that ripple effect spread in ways we never imagined. We were awarded the Skinner Steel Hometown Hero of the Game and are humbled and grateful to Skinner Steel and Construction LLC and the University of Idaho for this recognition.

Working in EMS is more than a job–it’s a way of life. We are truly honored to serve alongside the men and women of the PACT EMS family, the paramedics and EMTs who work tirelessly on the clock and off the clock to #imPACT their community. Thank you for your commitment to building people who build better communities!

Local Ambulance Company Supports Young Entrepreneurs with Lemonade Stands

FOR RELEASE June 11, 2018

Media Contact: Kelly Zakariasen, kelly@pactems.org

MOSCOW, Idaho. As the summer season begins, Palouse Area Care & Transport (PACT EMS) is once again launching their Lights on Lemonade program for young entrepreneurs. In the spirit of encouraging children to learn about innovation and starting a business, the local ambulance company will advertise—with parent permission—lemonade stands in Moscow and Pullman on their company Facebook page. PACT EMS will also send an ambulance to park nearby with emergency lights flashing to help attract more customers and PACT EMTs and paramedics will purchase some lemonade or other goodies. 

PACT EMS owner Troy Zakariasen created Lights on Lemonade after his company was selected as last year’s Entrepreneur of the Palouse Rising Star Award winner. 

“It’s a great way to encourage kids to begin exploring entrepreneurship and business at a basic level. The classic neighborhood lemonade stand is the perfect place to start.” Zakariasen said.

Last year the ambulance company visited over a dozen lemonade stands, though not all decided to grant permission to be highlighted on social media. 

“My parents taught me to always stop when you see a lemonade stand and buy lemonade or cookies or whatever the kids are selling. It’s incredibly rewarding to see their faces light up and know that you may be planting the seeds for future business owners in our community.”

Participants in this summer’s Lights on Lemonade program will be entered to win one of two cash awards: $100 grand prize or a $50 second prize, to be drawn at random August 31st, 2018. To have a lemonade stand highlighted, young entrepreneurs can contact the ambulance company through their Facebook page, email contact@pactems.org, or call 855-722-8367.

PACT EMS is a private Critical Care ambulance company based in Moscow, Idaho serving regional hospitals by providing both emergent and non-emergent ambulance transports. 

Area Community Supports Local Volunteers in a BIG Way

This past weekend on April 8th, hundreds of people packed the Kendrick High School in support of their local EMS volunteers. The event was the annual J-K Ambulance Sausage Feed and Fundraiser; the goal, to raise additional funds in order to purchase new and updated equipment critical to the saving of lives of local community members.

Eager supporters filled the tables and overflowed into the bleachers for the dinner and auction, finishing off delicious homemade pies and eyeing items up for bid. The event raised thousands of dollars for this small town ambulance company, proving it isn’t the size of the community that counts, but the size of the heart.

Congratulations to J-K Ambulance and the citizens of Juliaetta and Kendrick on an outstanding fundraising event!
