Atchison-Holt Ambulance District (AHAD) operates as a municipal health care service provider delivering around-the-clock emergency medical response across Atchison and Holt counties in the far northwest corner of Missouri. Established in 1974 as a political subdivision, the district is governed by a six-member elected board and staffed by two crews continuously, each comprising a paramedic and an EMT-Basic, serving the two-county area that spans about 1,007 square miles. AHAD serves multiple communities within its district and surrounding fire protection districts, including Tarkio and other towns, with service designed to address urgent medical transport and on-scene medical support needs in the region. Based in Tarkio, Missouri, the organization operates within the hospitals and health care industry, aiming to provide structured, ongoing emergency medical coverage to a defined population of about 11,000 residents as of 2006. A recent development noted is its ongoing organizational structure and staffing approach to maintain 24/7 EMS availability across its service area.
