I have been a paramedic for more than twenty years and in EMS more than twenty five years. I have worked on five continents, in more than a dozen countries and two active war zones, onshore, offshore, at sea and in the air. I currently run and supervise the Community Paramedic program for South Park Ambulance District. The program is in it's infancy, with broad goals to bring health care to our under-served community. It will be staffed by dual role Advanced Practice paramedics, who hold both critical care and community paramedic certifications as well as extensive training and experience.
