I look forward to strengthening our partnerships with local fire departments—city, county, and volunteer—as well as law enforcement at all levels and neighboring EMS teams. Together, we can support our staff, coordinate more seamlessly, and continue delivering excellent care to the people of Decatur County.
Myers is particularly passionate about mentoring newer staff and fostering strong relationships across departments and organizations. He believes in maintaining and elevating the standards of care while learning from the experience of the seasoned professionals around him.
