Our Commitment To Take Action
Life Support is dedicated to enhancing the Emergency Medical Services throughout the 800 square miles of Upper Kittitas County. Today, and for the foreseeable future, this small rural population will struggle to support the accelerating Emergency Medical Services (EMS)and medical demands of the millions of travelers, recreationalists and residents who expect a reliable and modern medical system. To meet the challenges of today and the demands of the future, Life Support's efforts in raising funds will enable responsive emergency medical care, for the benefit and safety of the community, visitors, and travelers on the I-90 corridor.
JELD-WEN'S quarter million dollar
gift to Life Support are (L to R):
Life Support President Cheri Marusa,
Life Support Trustee Don Watts, and
Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire.
