What FITCH-RONA EMS DISTRICT does

Fitch-Rona EMS District is a Wisconsin special district (a local-government entity) that provides paramedic-level emergency medical services under Wis. Stat. § 66.0301(2). It was established via an intergovernmental agreement among the City of Fitchburg, the City of Verona, and the Town of Verona in south-central Dane County, Wisconsin, with its current operating agreement renewed effective January 1, 2026. The district is governed by an EMS Commission composed of municipal and citizen representatives from the three member municipalities, and operates with approximately 14 staff from a headquarters at 101 Lincoln St, Verona.

The district's core product is 911-dispatched emergency medical response and paramedic intercept services for residents within its three-member-municipality coverage area, augmented by event medical standby, community CPR training, senior housing outreach (fall prevention, DNR education), and a Dane County EMS peer support program. It also participates in the Wisconsin Children's Health Alliance "Children and Youth With Special Needs" pilot. The clinical technology stack includes Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), Cot Scales for weight-based medication dosing, on-site Oxygen Generation, and High-Performance CPR (HPCPR) protocols reported through the Dane County EMS reporting system. Operational/back-office software is supplied by Vairkko, including a beta Student Rider Portal for paramedic student scheduling.

Fitch-Rona is funded through three streams: (1) municipal tax-levy appropriations from the three member municipalities (exempt from levy limits under § 66.0301(2)); (2) ambulance transport fees per its published 2026 Ambulance Fee Schedule, billed to Medicare/Medicaid for eligible patients and to other payers at scheduled rates; and (3) ancillary program/event revenue. The district is publicly controlled, has no parent company, no outside investors, and no disclosed financial figures. Marketing and community engagement are conducted primarily through Facebook, Twitter, FACTv video segments, and an email newsletter.
