Chariton County Ambulance District

Staff & Board of Directors

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.
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.
