Sometimes in EMS, we overlook the importance of a safe and reliable vehicle to transport ourselves and our patients.

In this episode sponsored by Medix, Mike McCabe sits down with two seasoned EMS leaders—John Smith, CEO of UT Health East Texas EMS, based in Tyler, TX, and Clay Hobbs, COO of Pafford Medical Services, with EMS operations across multiple states and the U.S. Virgin Islands—to discuss models, designs, and features desired by today’s prehospital personnel and the communities they serve.
