(Le Mars) — Amber Krause has been awarded the 2016 Steven H. Musson Memorial Emergency Services Education Scholarship. The Musson family established the Steven H. Musson Emergency Services Education Endowment in 2003 to recognize and
honor Steve for his passion for emergency care. This year, the committee was able to award a $500 scholarship.
Krause is currently working on receiving her EMT-B certificate and has most recently joined Kingsley Ambulance and Rescue Services. After successfully completing her EMT-B this spring, she will be officially answering calls as an EMT for Kingsley Ambulance and Rescue.
She stated in her application, “My 2 year old began to have seizures and I called for the ambulance. When the ambulance crew arrived, I was so impressed by how empathetic, and knowledgeable they all were. I decided then that I wanted to become an EMT. I am doing this for myself and my community by becoming and EMT. I understand how important this service is.”
