April 1976
A few of our founding members included Jody Rutherford, John & Judy Hillis, Faye Rainey, and Maryann Coffman. We have a service area of 457.31 square miles, about 1/3 the area of Rhode Island.
Volunteer
From 1976 through 2006, Utopia EMS was 100% volunteer. Today we're a mixture of Volunteer and Paid members consisting of every level of trained medics.
Our Training
We have 3 fully operational BLS units with MICU capabilities. Our members meet monthly for continuing education classes in order to stay current with their State of Texas' licensure as well as National Registration.
