An amazing group of people!
In northeast Kansas, where neighbors still look out for one another, a quiet group of heroes stands ready at all hours—often without recognition, but never without purpose.
The Sabetha EMS Association, 26 dedicated volunteers, embodies what it means to serve.
This team includes two paramedics, Lucas Linden and Bobbi Dillion, who also serves as Service Director; five RNs Cheri Key, Sofie Kuenzi, Jennifer Oswald, Brieanna Rose, Anna Knapp, seven AEMTs—Doug Brammer, Josh Burger, Alex Dawdy, Levi Hitchcock, Pam Jackman, Jared Rokey, and Ed Steinlage; eleven EMTs— Jennifer Carr, Calvin Copeland, Elizabeth Lewis, Megan McDonald, Kayla Moore, Laura Nenadov, Mike Rokey, Janelle Smith, April Vogel, Robert Wahwasuck, and Ethan Stewart; and one EMR, Kalynn Miller.
By day, they work as teachers, mechanics, office workers, farmers, and small business owners or employees. They raise families and live like everyone else. But when the call comes in, everything changes.
These volunteers become lifelines.
Whether it’s a late-night emergency, a highway accident, or a nearby call, they respond with urgency, professionalism, and compassion—leaving dinner tables, work, or sleep to provide care.
What sets them apart is their commitment to grow. Each member advances their medical training, improving skills, and patient outcomes.
For residents of Sabetha and surrounding communities, help comes from familiar faces—neighbors who go above and beyond in life’s most vulnerable moments.
They don’t seek recognition. They serve because their community matters. Because hometown heroes aren’t always in headlines—they’re the ones who quietly answer the call, day after day.
And in Sabetha, those heroes wear EMS uniforms.
Jan Steinlage of Saylor Insurance Service, Inc. nominated Sabetha EMS Hometown Heroes.
Proudly partnered with Lentz Express Catering and Wilson Tire — serving our communities together.
