It takes a lot to save a life

Last week, members of HERT and Barnesville Ambulance (BA) visited a man who was last seen by many, being loaded up onto a chopper. “It was amazing,” BA Paramedic Scott Nelson said. “Everyone was helping and doing their part in the job of saving Mr. Ekre.” On February 9, 2019, Steve Ekre had what is called a “Widow Maker” heart attack and thanks to the hard work of medical personnel, Steve is alive today.
