Share Your Story!

Driven by a desire to support people on some of their worst days, Keleigh R. chose the National EMS Academy to learn how to comfort both patients and their families when they need it most.

For Keleigh, the standout highlight from EMT school wasn’t just a single event, but the experience itself; having a place to feel understood and accepted allowed her to confidently pursue her passion.

Her decision to join Acadian Ambulance came after seeing the care, respect, and appreciation the company consistently shows for its patients and its staff.

Keleigh has already connected with a group of colleagues and mentors who are guiding her and sharing the knowledge she needs to excel on the job.

Currently working full time as an EMR while completing EMT school, Keleigh hopes to become a paramedic and looks forward to where her future with Acadian will lead.

Her advice for anyone thinking about entering the field: “Do it. I don’t regret my decision. It is a lot of work, but worth it in the end.”

We are proud to recognize Kim Gary, LMS Customer Service Representative, as our MVP for August!

Kim consistently goes above and beyond, making herself available to employees and customers after hours and on weekends. She responds quickly and accurately, works across departments to research issues, and implements fixes and change requests with impressive speed. Her timely improvements, especially to reporting, help drive better decision-making and meaningful change.

Kim’s broad knowledge of the LMS, its integrated systems, and the processes of the teams who use it allows her to look beyond the initial request, identify root causes, and find more holistic solutions. Her strong relationships across the organization make her an invaluable partner when challenges arise.

Kim is also the absolute best kind of person to have around and keeps everyone laughing. Outside of work, she enjoys time with her family, caring for her horses, and showering her dog with love.

Kim genuinely wants to help others and continually looks for ways to make processes easier to understand and use. Thank you, Kim, for all you do and for helping make us a stronger, more efficient team!
