Our mission at Powder River County EMS is to provide exceptional emergency medical services to our community with compassion, efficiency, and professionalism. We are dedicated to safeguarding the health and well-being of our residents through rapid response, advanced medical care, and continuous education. Our commitment is to be a trusted and vital resource in times of need, ensuring the highest standard of service and care for all.

Powder River Emergency Medical Service (EMS) has been a basic life support (BLS) response team. Responders are trained in basic emergency lifesaving interventions and have transportation capabilities for those in emergency situations to a number of area hospitals such as Holy Rosary in Miles City or Campbell County Memorial Hospital in Gillette, Wyoming.

The beginning of Powder River EMS starts with the Jesse family in Broadus Montana. Mr. Ken Jesse started a family operated business, Jesse Ambulance, to assist the people of Powder River County. Over the years Mr. Ken’s children assisted him in providing patient care to those residents that were sick and injured and those traveling through the county that encountered medical issues. Jesse Ambulance had a fleet of ambulances over the years to ensure appropriate care and transport for those in need. A tradition Mr. Ken’s son Mr. Richard (Dick) Jesse and daughter Cindy Lou (Jesse) Graff continued operating the ambulances for the members of Powder River County.

In 2021 Powder River County acquired Jesse Ambulance in an effort to continue the legacy started by Mr. Ken and Jesse Ambulance. The service remains committed to providing the best care to the community of Powder River County where Mr. Dick Jesse can still be seen at the helm responding to calls. The EMS system has continued to improve efforts while incorporating more EMTs in the system and adding higher-level providers into the service to ensure the best care is provided to the community.
