3) Emergency Medical Services Matching Grant: Grant funds available to local

Commissioners - 2nd Tuesday · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

Jackson County Commissioners are considering a new grant program to support local emergency medical services. This program, called the Emergency Medical Services Matching Grant, aims to fund research, improve existing emergency medical services, conduct evaluations, and support community education. It will also fund injury prevention programs and training in CPR and other lifesaving techniques. To receive these grant funds, recipients must provide a matching cash sum. The program is currently under review by the Commissioners. This initiative could lead to work in areas such as research, program development, and training services. Local organizations and businesses involved in emergency medical services, education, and training may find opportunities as this grant program moves forward. Early engagement with the county could provide insight into specific needs and requirements as the program is finalized.
