Ambulance

Founded in 1975, the Belle Plaine Ambulance Service has been managed by Ridgeview Medical Center since January 2008.

Services & Staff

Through this partnership with Ridgeview, the Belle Plaine Ambulance Service has access to resources from Ridgeview, which provides the medical direction, supplies, management of the service and a paramedic position which is staffed 24 hours a day.
