On behalf of the Ortonville Ambulance Relief Association we want to announce that we now have a second LUCAS! As many of you know, we have been working towards purchasing a second LUCAS for quite some time now. Without the amazing support of our community we would not be making this post right now. Having a second LUCAS is something that many rural services do not have the opportunity to experience. We are extremely lucky and grateful for the amazing community that we have. We cannot begin to express our gratitude for your support!

With that being said, attached are some photos of the new LUCAS. We also attached photos of the device placed on a staff member to provide a visual representation of how the LUCAS would be placed on a person in time of need. This device is lifesaving and will continue to allow our service to provide the best care possible for each and every one of you. Again, we want to thank our community for the amazing support we have received.
