A Day in the Life of a Paramedic

Paramedics in this role provide swift and effective emergency medical services under various conditions, ensuring patient safety and delivering critical care during transport.

Attention to detail is crucial in maintaining high levels of quality control by following protocols and handling equipment and procedures both routinely and in complex cases.

About the Ambulance Service Department

Emergency Medicine, Anywhere, Anytime

Working at the intersection of healthcare and public safety, we bring emergency medicine directly into the community—providing advanced care before a patient even reaches the hospital.

Here, you’ll work with confidence, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to helping people on their worst days. Whether you're rushing to a critical emergency in someone's home, assisting at the scene of an accident, or simply assessing a patient who has called for an ambulance 23 times this year, you will change lives. While the job can vary from tedious to maximum intensity all in the same shift, it comes with definite perks — like the camaraderie of a strong, supportive team and getting paid to enjoy a coffee with that team between calls. If you're ready to be the calm in the chaos, the expert in uncertainty, and the one who makes a difference in a patient's time of crisis, join us in the Ambulance Service at CRMC.

This healthcare system is a testimony to the positive, can-do spirit of its leadership, physicians, and staff. Working together, looking for ways to make things happen, they have established an integrated, 40-acre campus with a state-of-the-art hospital with technologically advanced surgical suites, advanced life support ambulance service, senior housing, and a long-term care facility. There are also three additional physician clinics in Baxter, Breezy Point and Longville. CRMC has 1,020 employees and an active medical staff of over 60 physicians and 23 advanced practice providers, which includes 15 surgeons and 45 primary care providers.
