Congratulations to the following entities for being awarded a CREATE grant at the July 30th ERC meeting:

  • City of Steamboat Springs
  • Grand River Hospital District
  • Ouray County Emergency Medical Services
  • Grand County EMS
  • Trinidad State Junior College
  • Greater Brighton FPD
The CREATE grant program is a part of the Emergency Medical and Trauma Services (EMTS) Provider Grant program through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). The grant focus is to assist private and public entities, such as ambulance agencies, training facilities, hospitals, clinics, special districts, and other providers of EMS and trauma services with education and training funds to improve and expand the EMS system in Colorado.  Because CREATE is able to offer application acceptance year-round, this program is flexible to those who need it most.
