St. Joseph News-Press

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Buchanan County will celebrate the opening of its new Downtown EMS facility with a ribbon-cutting at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, July 11 , at its new site.

The site, located at 701 S. 7th St., features enhanced safety measures, including rapid closing doors, secure surveillance, and storm rooms. It can also house three ambulances, instead of two, which is designed to meet growing in-city demand.

The facility also provides space for EMS staff training and collaboration with first responders nearby.

Construction began in late 2024 for the $1.5 million station designed to reduce response times and improve crew readiness Downtown.
