Carol Harper

As an administrative assistant at Frontier Ambulance, Carol Harper has become a driving force in the role of community relations and outreach in building stronger connections between EMS, Fremont County, Wyoming, and the Wind River Reservation community. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by trauma victims, Carol partnered with Tribal Victim Services, Local Victim Services, and Frontier EMTs to create a safe space where individuals can seek help and access resources to begin rebuilding their lives.

Carol has also been an advocate for addressing the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) as the Project & Outreach Coordinator for MMIP Wind River. She was instrumental in bringing the Department of Homeland Security’s Blue Campaign on Human Trafficking to Frontier’s Riverton and Lander stations, ensuring EMS crews, law enforcement, and search and rescue agencies received critical training on how to identify warning signs and respond appropriately, knowledge especially vital given the higher risks faced by Native American populations.

Additionally, Carol collaborates closely with the American Red Cross of Wyoming as the Relationship Management DCS Community Partnership Lead to enhance disaster preparedness in Fremont County, working with FEMA and city government in developing an effective Emergency Management Plan. She also works with local veteran organizations to coordinate the Veterans Day Parade and assists and supports local veteran events and activities. She is the mother of two U.S. Marines, and her son is an OIF veteran.

Carol regularly attends training courses to expand her skills and share best practices with her community, including Suicide Prevention and Mental Health First Aid. A passionate supporter of EMS, Carol believes strongly in advancing the role of EMS as an essential service in Wyoming. Through her efforts to foster partnerships, expand awareness, access critical resources, and champion preparedness, Carol is helping ensure the best possible outcomes for the patients and communities Frontier Ambulance serves.
