SPOKANE, Wash. – Northwest Farm Credit Services is proud to award the Powder River First Responders in Broadus a $2,000 Northwest FCS Rural Community Grant.
"Powder River First Responders thanks Northwest FCS for the grant," said Responders Facilitator Shane Copps, AEMT. "This funding will help us purchase a cardiac monitor that we can use to check heart rhythms and if needed, shock the heart to reset the rhythm. This tool has every potential to be an actual lifesaver."
