The search is underway yet again in Starke County for an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Director.

Starke County Commissioners terminated Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Director Eric Wood earlier this month. It was one month shy of one year as Starke County EMS Director for Wood who was appointed for the position in October of 2021. 

Starke County Commissioners made their official decision after reporting that periodic reviews showed the Starke County EMS Administration had been operating in a way that would not make for long-term success. 

Prior to Wood, Travis Clary had been the Starke County EMS Director from 2017 until November 1, 2021, after a public resignation.
