In 2021, SCCAD will be one of three EMS agencies in Missouri to launch Emergency Triage, Treatment & Transport [ET3] - a five year pilot developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service aimed at reducing healthcare costs by providing patients with additional options such as transport to alternative destination, telemedicine encounters, and treatment on-scene.

Through the years, the District has been recognized with numerous local, state and national awards for its cutting-edge approach to mobile healthcare. Among other honors, SCCAD received the American Ambulance Association's Community Impact Program of the Year award in 2017, and is a seven-time EMS Service of the Year award winner from the Missouri Emergency Medical Services Association.
