Karen embodies the idea of consistent, trustworthy service in her personal and business life.

Karen can remember when there was no dependable public or private ambulance service in northern Harris County. In those days, before the creation of Cypress Creek EMS, she remembers neighbors and her own parents putting people in need of emergency care in the back of a station wagon or truck and rushing them to a hospital.
