PRESS RELEASE
LAKEVILLE, Minn. — To heighten medication safety and strengthen field performance, Cherokee County Ambulance Association has adopted OneWeight and OneDose from Hinckley Medical, being the first in the state of Kansas to do so.
The first in Kansas
In alignment with their mission statement, Cherokee County Ambulance is the first in Kansas to adopt the OneWeight system powered through the OneDose protocol application.
“We wanted to be the first,” said Terry Clugston, Service Director at Cherokee County Ambulance. “We saw the value in precision dosing. When it comes to obtaining accurate patient weights, there isn’t a more innovative tool than OneWeight. Alongside the OneDose protocol app enablement, it’s more custom, functional, and it’ll help us to better enhance patient care.”
Designed specifically for EMS professionals, OneDose offers:
• Accurate patient weight at point of care
• Instant access to protocols and medication documentation with a single tap
• Multiple methods for rapid, accurate dose calculation — including pediatric support
• Built-in administrative tools for real-time updates, drug-shortage adjustments, and testing
• Expansion-friendly pricing that supports agency growth
About Cherokee County Ambulance Association
Kansas runs an aggressive protocol for emergency medical providers — but Clugston wanted to bring it a step further. With six paramedic units from three EMS stations, Cherokee County Ambulance operates an advanced service at the paramedic level. Operating these units 24/7, Cherokee County Ambulance strives to develop and continually improve its medical care system, assuring high-quality patient care and appropriate response in emergencies.
