The Jackson Parish Ambulance District shines the Employee Spotlight for the month of September on Paramedic, Jimmie Bryan, best known around the station as “Slim Jim”. 

With an impressive 24 year career in EMS, Jimmie’s dedication and expertise extends far beyond the ambulance. He spent five years as a Flight Paramedic for Air Evac and has been recognized at the local, state and regional level for Outstanding EMS Provider of the Year for 2021-22 by local VFW Post 4317. This year alone, he has responded to 233 calls for help within the community. 

Jimmie’s patriotism and love for his country is marked by an 18 year tenure as a Naval officer, where he achieved the rank of Lieutenant, has served twice in Operation Enduring Freedom and is currently active in the Naval Reserves. Adding to his diverse skill set, he is also a licensed Louisiana Real Estate Agent with French Realty LLC where he has earned several prestigious awards for top sales. 

When Jimmie is not defending his country, saving lives or closing deals, he enjoys spending time with his wife of 16 years, Mindy, and their son, Trey. His most notable hobbies include working on classic cars, remodeling houses and training his two dogs. Occasionally he even finds time to run his portable sawmill. 

Jimmie’s remarkable breadth of skills and unwavering commitment make him an exceptional asset to the Jackson Parish Ambulance Service District.
