Southern Trinity Area Rescue https://starambulance.org/ For 41 years STAR has been the 911 Emergency Medical Service (EMS) for Southern Trinity and Eastern Humboldt counties.

Since 1979 Southern Trinity Area Rescue is a group of volunteer EMTs providing Emergency Ambulance Service to the Southern Trinity / Eastern Humboldt community along the Highway 36 corridor. Our service area covers Highway 36 from Dinsmore to South Fork ridge, and includes the towns of Ruth, Zenia, Kettenpom, and Mad River, as well as Ruth Lake and the Yolla Bolly wilderness. A non-profit ambulance company staffed by volunteers, we respond 24/7 year-round to make this remote area a little less remote when an emergency happens and help is needed quickly. Whether you live in this area or come here for the weekend or vacation, when you need help we will be there for you. This page is to inform the public about STAR, other EMS services, weather, health and safety concerns in our area.

Heroes show up when they’re needed most. Sometimes that means recognizing the warning signs and taking action. Other times, it means supporting, inspiring or advocating for others.

The Stroke Hero Awards celebrate people and groups making a difference in the stroke community. Explore the award categories and nominate yourself or someone you know.

Just because someone is walking, smiling, or going about their day doesn’t mean they aren’t struggling.

Living with an invisible disability often means people only see what we’re able to do, not what it takes for us to do it.

They don’t see the pain, the exhaustion, the limitations, or what happens after we’ve pushed ourselves to get through the day.

During Invisible Disabilities Week, I want to remind everyone that you can’t always tell what someone is going through just by looking at them.

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. 💙
