Jefferson County Ambulance board hires Brianna Bradbury as part-time EMT

In a recent meeting of the Jefferson County Supervisors, key discussions centered around the approval of an offset program and the hiring of a new part-time EMT. The meeting, held on June 22, 2025, highlighted the county's ongoing efforts to enhance its emergency services and streamline funding processes.

One of the primary topics was the offset program, which was recently revised by staff member Elizabeth. This program is scheduled for a public hearing on June 23, where community members will have the opportunity to discuss its implications. The revisions aim to improve the program's effectiveness, reflecting the county's commitment to addressing community needs.

Additionally, the supervisors discussed the GEMT (Ground Emergency Medical Transportation) grant, which is expected to be submitted after the fiscal year closes. This grant could provide significant reimbursement for emergency services, although the process may result in a delay of up to a year before funds are received. The supervisors expressed optimism about the potential benefits of this grant, emphasizing its importance for sustaining and enhancing local emergency medical services.

The meeting also included the anticipated hiring of Brianna Bradbury as a part-time EMT for the Jefferson County ambulance service, with a proposed start date of June 23. The supervisors unanimously approved her hiring at a rate of $17 per hour, reflecting the county's ongoing efforts to bolster its emergency response capabilities.

Overall, the discussions during this meeting underscored Jefferson County's proactive approach to improving its emergency services and ensuring that the community's needs are met effectively. As the county moves forward with these initiatives, the outcomes of the public hearing and the GEMT grant application will be closely monitored by both officials and residents alike.
