Our leadership team just returned from - it was great to connect with so many folks, and see some of the latest innovations in life saving equipment.
In fact, one of our very own new units was on display in the exhibition hall as well! We have chosen to invest in best in class equipment because our team and our patients deserve it.

We are building something special here that we’re proud of - and there’s even more in the works!

Side note: if you are considering a career path of emergency medicine, we strongly suggest attending any EMS conference. It’s a great way to explore possibilities and meet the finest kind of professionals who can help guide you. And we’re always here too if you have questions.
