Whitfield EMS Vision Statement

Revised June 26, 2003
 

It is our desire to position ourselves to be recognized by our peers, the community, Hamilton Medical Center, and Whitfield County Commissioners as a premier service.
 

We want the care we deliver to be conducive with sound medical practice. We want to work with area public safety to have a seamless transition of care from time of incident through delivery of patient to the hospital.
 

Our level of care should be of the highest standard, measurable and accredited. We want to promote our success in an honest manner, taking credit only for the accomplishments we have demonstrated. We want to strive for continued improvement and seek better ways to provide better service to our customers.
 

We desire to have the best employees. We want to recruit and train local personnel, but will continue to seek employees from a local as well as national/international pool to meet manpower needs. We want to balance workload demand, with volume to provide the best of service while retaining only the best-motivated and experienced personnel.
