Peoria-based Advanced Medical Transport has announced an agreement to acquire Medics First, which includes a fleet of 11 ambulances, and 40 full-time EMS professionals.
“We are extremely excited about bringing Medics First to the AMT family of emergency medical services providers,” said Greg Chance, CEO Medics First. “We will continue to provide compassionate care tailored to meet the needs of patients and their families, as well as becoming a responsible and respected corporate citizen of the Springfield area.”
With the acquisition, Medics First, established in 2008, becomes Springfield’s first not-for-profit provider of emergency and non-emergency prehospital healthcare.
“At the core of AMT’s mission is the fundamental principle of putting the patient and family at the heart of every decision and empowering them to be genuine partners in their care. Safety and high-quality patient care are our top priorities,” Chance said.
