NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. (October 1, 2018) — Mobile Life Support Services, the largest emergency medical provider in the Hudson Valley, recently welcomed 15 new EMTs and paramedics to its staff. This group of men and women are New York State certified, medically trained professionals who were required to complete their respective courses and pass a state exam and a background check before obtaining their EMT or paramedic certificates.
Upon receiving their certificates, the group was required to attend a Mobile Life Support Services orientation process where they were familiarized with company policies, procedures and equipment, and complete a Certified Emergency Vehicle Operation (CEVO) course.
The new employees join a team of approximately 500 medical professionals providing quality emergency care to the Hudson Valley. Mobile Life currently operates 26 stations strategically located throughout the region. The company’s ambulance fleet is composed of more than 60 vehicles, which are dispersed throughout Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Ulster and Westchester counties.
“The rigorous training our employees receive provides them with the foundational skills needed to deliver quality emergency medical care to patients,” said Mobile Life President and CEO Scott Woebse. “I am proud of our newest recruits and confident that they will embody the compassion, care, and consistency for which Mobile Life is known.”
Mobile Life Support Services serves as the designated 911-EMS Agency for more than a dozen municipalities, including Newburgh, Middletown, Kingston and Poughkeepsie, and provides emergent and nonemergent ambulance transportation services to most of the 14 hospitals in its service region.
Individuals interested in joining the next group of candidates should visit the Mobile Life website www.mobilelife.com/employment to submit an application or inquire about educational opportunities to become certified.
