About CCAD

In November 1972 the Chariton County Ambulance District Board of Directors were established. The District began its first day of operation on April 1, 1973. In Chariton County two bases were in operation, one located at the City Hall in Brunswick and the other at the Salisbury Police Department. The first Board President was Bob Harris of Salisbury and the first District Superintendent was Bob Wright of Salisbury.

In August of 1996, the Brunswick base relocated to 201 N. Small along with the Volunteer Brunswick Fire Department. In June of 2002, the Salisbury base relocated to 212 S. Weber in Salisbury.

CCAD currently operates one ambulance from the Brunswick base. The Salisbury base maintains two ambulances, the business office, and training center.

A six member Board of Directors elected for staggered three-year terms governs CCAD. The Superintendent and the Office Manager manage the day-to-day affairs of the District.

County property tax and patient income are the foundation of the operating budget. The District accepts Medicare, Medicaid, insurances and private pay.

With the direction of the Medical Director, CCAD has gone above and beyond the national curriculum for Paramedics.
