St. Luke’s nurse ‘lucky’ to have team help after heart attack
Even though he has not yet hit his first full year as a team member at St. Luke’s Fruitland, Enrico “Bobby” Brown says, “I’m lucky to be working there.” That took on even more meaning back in March for the licensed practical nurse at the medical plaza, which features a 24-hour emergency department, imaging, clinics and is a Level II STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction) center as designated by the Idaho State Time Sensitive Emergencies Council. Being heart aware and well-trained, Brown gained a further appreciation for them when he started to feel strange late in the morning of his shift. “It felt like my lungs were on fire,” Brown said. “It felt like the gas chamber (exercise) we did in basic training (in the Army). I thought at first it could be anxiety, as I had quit smoking about two months prior. “It came and went. I did my job evaluating patients, but I was evaluating myself, too.” Around 7 p.m., checking on his last patient of the day, he was hit with an overwhelming sense of anxiety. Brown went to the nurse’s station and put his hands on the desk. Sweat started pouring. “I knew exactly what it was

Canyon County Ambulance District purchases land in Caldwell for new paramedic station
CALDWELL — A third ambulance station is coming to Caldwell after the Canyon County Ambulance District purchased land from the city on Ustick Road. The ambulance district purchased the property on Thursday, Oct. 29 for $836,407 to better serve south Caldwell’s growing population. The station will also serve as an EMS training center and medical supply hub, the ambulance district said in a news release. Station 55 will be the first ambulance station added to the city since 2003, and comes after voters approved a $7.9 million temporary levy override in May 2025, “following significant growth in population and emergency call volume over the past five years.” “Station 55 represents a significant investment by Canyon County voters in prehospital emergency care,” Canyon County Ambulance District Chief Michael Stowell said.

Staff members also create regular opportunities for conversation, activity, and rest, which can reduce isolation and ease family concerns. The result is a living arrangement shaped around safety, dignity, and consistent care rather than a hospital routine. Several daily services explain how that balance works.
