Year: 2017

Mecklenburg EMS Agency (Medic) in Charlotte, NC recently embarked on a project aimed at completely revamping the Agency’s ambulance dedesign. The need for this work was driven by newly released ground vehicle safety standards as published by the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS). The Agency also sought a more comfortable and ergonomically designed patient care module in addition to a vehicle platform with a lower total cost of ownership. This highly successful project was led by Medic employees and the improved design was completely based on input received from more than 200 caregivers who make these ambulances their office each and every day.
