Anyone who has ever experienced their expertise knows that the Jackson Parish Ambulance Service District (JPASD) has one of the best Emergency Medical Service departments you would ever want to find. 

The administration and staff of the JPASD have always known the secret behind their success in handling medical emergencies, and now the rest of the state knows as well. 

The secret was made public on Friday, June 5th, at the annual Louisiana EMS Education Conference and Expo, held at the Convention Center in Shreveport, LA, where JoLynn Smith, Lead Instructor and Operations Director of the JPASD, was named EMS Instructor of the Year.
