The cost to operate a free education program to rural/remote areas of Idaho can be daunting financially. There are many physical items, such as training equipment, mannikins and durable training equipment, advanced cardiac monitoring equipment for training. Additionally the cost of fuel is exorbitant due to the current economy.
Rescue services
We are involved in specialized rescue services, including Paramedic Support at Mass Casualty Incidents as well as providing Advanced Life Support (Paramedic) prehospital support to rural areas with Basic Life Support (EMT) agencies, on request, in southwestern Idaho. We also provide HazMat ToxMedic Support on request. We do not charge for these services.
Our newest veteran program
We are expanding our Veterans care by implementing a program to take VA hospice and rehab patients to see places in SW Idaho they may never see again. This is all free to the Veterans and their families.

DONATE BELOW TO HELP
YOU CAN HELP A LITTLE OR A LOT! No amount is too small!
It takes a lot of help for us to fulfill our missions. Operating an EMS agency is a specialized endeavor that is inherently expensive to offer. No one at Lifestar Rural EMS is paid...WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS!
Station/office space, fuel (especially hard now}, insurance, supplies and equipment, and much more.
CARDIAC MONITOR DEFIBRILLATORS
Raising funds to purchase 2 upgraded cardiac monitor defibrillators. Ours are old and need upgraded!
ADMIN COSTS
No administration staff , or volunteers, at Lifestar Rural EMS Solutions receives any income. We are true volunteers. But, we still have administration expenses such as fuel, insurance, equipment, medical supplies, etc. We rely on donations and the limited fees for standby events to cover these expenses but it's not near enough. Can you help us?
AMBULANCE (USED)
Ambulance transport unit. Hoping for a TYPE I or MEDIUM DUTY 4 x 4. Our current unit has 288,xxx miles on it! We need to get a unit with less miles so that we can convert this to a backup unit.
