With EMS not considered an essential service, providing emergency medical services in rural Iowa is becoming an increasing challenge. Lower reimbursements and fewer volunteers are making providing an ambulance in rural areas a real challenge.

Panelists include: Jack Seward, Washington County Iowa Supervisor, Andi Deering, Allamakee-Clayton Electrical Cooperative. Moderator: Michaela Ramm, The Gazette.

The two-day conference hosted by The Gazette brings together policy makers, experts and community members passionate about the state's future. For more replays, visit
