Welcome to

Medics First

Much more than an ambulance service provider - Medics First is a vital community partner, deeply invested in the betterment of the people we serve. While our paramedic ambulances earned their stripes responding to hundreds of thousands of emergencies, Medics First has evolved and grown as a team dedicated to a comprehensive set of community healthcare initiatives.

In 2008, Medics First was founded on three core principles for delivering superior emergency care:

  • Build strong relationships throughout the healthcare community.
  • Hold paramedics to a higher standard.
  • Provide a better workplace to attract top professionals.

In August of 2019, Medics First was purchased by Advanced Medical Transport, a nationally-accredited and recognized regional Emergency Medical Services provider, based in central Illinois. As a member of the AMT family, Medics First will become Springfield’s first not-for-profit ambulance service, operated for community benefit, and guided by a community-based Board of Directors.

Our History

Founded in 2008, Medics First offers the latest medical technology in the hands of highly-skilled clinicians who are dedicated to providing compassionate care.

Community Outreach

Community-centered and customer-focused, we are proud to offer services beyond emergency medical services and transportation.

If all the responders in your company are as kind, caring, and professional as the young man and young woman who came to my aid, you have a terrific company! As I was still in the emergency room waiting for a room in the hospital, these two happened to pass by my ER room and stopped to ask how I was doing – such a kind and caring gesture indeed!
They listened. You guys are great, you are well trained, and you care about people. I’d recommend you all any place, any time. Good job guys. I thank you all.
They took the time to listen to me and my family. They didn’t rush into how I was to be feeling but heard me as I described what happened and how I felt. I commend both of them for excellent care! Kudos to both!
