Every ambulance has a Stryker Power Load, Stryker Power Cot, Lucas Device, Zoll X Series Monitor, GlideScope Video Laryngoscope, Sage Mats with Air Pump, and other cutting-edge equipment.

Schedules are made 2-3 months out, and our 24/16 rotation includes 5 days off in a row every 3 weeks.

Our culture is one of excellence with ongoing regular training, and an expectation that we will deliver the best care to our patients on every call. We put the finest equipment in the hands of our providers because we have found that produces the best results in the field.
