HERO: Helping EMS in Rural Oregon Grants offer funds to rural EMS agencies to cover in-house training costs or to send staff to training that cannot be offered locally.
Priority will be given to applications from agencies:
- Located in counties designated as remote (Baker, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Lake, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Wallowa and Wheeler)
- With a high proportion of volunteer staff
- That are nonprofit or public entities
- That include participation from, or collaboration with, neighboring rural EMS agencies
Applicants must be located in a rural or remote area and recognized by the Oregon Health Authority EMS and Trauma Systems Program as an organization that participates in Oregon's 911 response system.
Award amount is not stated.
Since 2010, the program has awarded over $325,000 to 290 agencies.
