PARAGOULD, Ark. — Medic One Ambulance Service has announced plans to expand its operations into Greene County through a partnership with St. Bernards Healthcare. The company stated the expansion is aimed at enhancing health care access and ensuring timely mutual aid during emergencies.
While a specific start date has not been provided, Medic One described the move as happening “soon” in a post on its social media platform.
This development is part of Medic One’s broader growth across Northeast Arkansas, Southeast Missouri, and the St. Louis area. The company emphasized its intention to collaborate with local emergency medical services professionals, first responders, health care providers, and public safety agencies already operating in Greene County.
“At the heart of EMS is the spirit of people helping people, and we see endless opportunities to work together and support one another,” Medic One said in its announcement.
The company conveyed its commitment to being a supportive community partner and building cooperative relationships with existing providers. However, the announcement did not provide details on a station location, staffing numbers, or the full extent of planned services in the county.
The partnership with St. Bernards Healthcare is expected to play a key role in the expansion, though specifics on that collaboration remain unclear.
Medic One has been a significant provider of ambulance services across the region, and this move is seen as another step in its efforts to strengthen emergency response capabilities in rural and underserved communities.
