Serving Marshall County since 2006, Director John Reese has a passion for his home county, his neighbors, and serving his employees. Under John’s direction, Marshall County EMS emphasizes compassionate, professional pre-hospital care for the community. The EMS department aims to deliver “the highest level of pre-hospital emergency medical care to the citizens and visitors of Marshall County.” John’s commitment and perseverance through difficult times have led to several upgrades for the department, including new 24/72 shift schedules, increased educational opportunities, and improved patient care throughout Marshall County. John’s tireless commitment to his service and community exemplify what it means to be a leader, and the South-Central EMS Directors Association proudly congratulates John on winning the Excellence in Leadership Award 2025.
