Today is International Paramedics Day. Today and every day, we celebrate and acknowledge the vital role of our ground and flight paramedics. In an emergency, every second counts and our paramedics are trained to provide the highest level of emergency medical services. We are thankful for the countless hours our paramedics sacrifice to provide care to the communities they serve! #IPD24 #WhatParamedicsDo

AMR Arlington alongside Med-Trans Corporation and neighboring agencies partnered up to host paramedic students from Australia! For the past two weeks, 11 paramedic students have been riding along with AMR Arlington, learning more about the intricacies of the local EMS system. Yesterday, students wrapped up their Texas tour by expanding their knowledge of clinical and medical flight operations within the U.S. air ambulance industry. Kudos to everyone involved in this fantastic learning opportunity! #OneTeam 🚑🌏

This week, we lost a dear friend and colleague, Dennis Rohlfs. Dennis was a visionary leader who founded Med-Trans. His experience in the Vietnam War was what inspired him to create a safe and reliable means of emergent transportation to critical patients in need. In 1982, Dennis started Med-Trans’ first helicopter operation by bringing two competing hospital systems to the table. They agreed to sharing this helicopter service to better serve the surrounding rural area of Bismarck, ND. His business concepts grew and evolved to become a national air medical service. His vision was to build a company on a foundation of premier customer service, solution agility and an industry-leading safety environment, all while promoting a family, team and partnership culture. Dennis understood that a single solution/service model did not solve all of the industry needs, nor meet the challenges of the rapidly growing and evolving emergency air medical industry. As a result, he tailored Med-Trans' solutions to the partner hospitals, EMS systems and local community. This became the model Med-Trans would embrace and use to grow the Med-Trans family brand. Dennis’ care and compassion for the employees of Med-Trans and the communities in which they served is the bedrock on which Med-Trans was built. Our condolences go out to Dennis' family, in particular his son Tom, who is a VP on our business development team, and to all of you who worked with him and knew him as a friend. His contributions to the air medical industry will not be forgotten.

We are proud to announce our new partnership with Med-Force Aeromedical Transport (Med-Force)! This strong union will combine the resources and expertise of both Med-Trans and Med-Force to provide the highest quality care to the Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois communities. We look forward to seeing the positive impact these remarkable team members will make within the Quad Cities. “We are thrilled to align with Med-Force in providing care to the communities of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois,” said Gary Valeriano, regional business director for Med-Trans. “The partnership allows for a greater depth of resources of aircraft and maintenance support.” #OneTeam https://lnkd.in/g2kPdujN
