REMSA and Care Flight’s 2019 Year in Review
As we celebrate the new year, we took the opportunity to reflect on 2019 and how we served the community. From our first, first responders in the dispatch center who dispatch and provide protocol-driven medical care over the phone, to the clinical providers on our ground ambulances, from the skilled critical care providers on Care Flight to our talented logistics and mechanics teams, we say thank you for allowing us to take care of the ones you love during some of your most difficult times. REMSA’s mission to provide patient-centered and innovative care drives the clinically-excellent, compassionate service we provide across our region every day.
“As the future of EMS evolves, I am excited about the ways REMSA and Care Flight continue to lead the way in delivering safe, efficient and compassionate integrated healthcare.”
– Dean Dow, President and Chief Executive Officer for REMSA
