Administrator Of The Year
Every year the Oregon Health Authority chooses an administrator that embodies its core values and provides a level of service to their staff and the community. This year their administrator of the year award was presented to Western Lane Ambulance District’s Matt House. House says he was honored enough just to be nominated, and the award itself recognizes the entire Florence EMS community as well as the position.
“To be nominated, number one, from the staff and then to actually receive the award from the Oregon Health Authority means a lot to our district and to our community.”
Florence is considerably smaller than some agencies with 16 full time staff. And House recognizes the team effort that goes into a successful entity like Western Lane Ambulance.
“It’s a team award, it’s a Western Lane Ambulance District award it isn’t an individual award in my mind.”
House reiterated the hard work that the staff does on a daily basis in order to ensure that the community is served.

The City of Florence wants to remind residents of the rules regarding campaign signage. Signs are allowed on private property and in all zones under the temporary sign code.
