OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide educational and mentoring opportunities to future leaders in the EMS industry and educate the public in basic life-saving techniques and practices. 

The Priority Ambulance Leadership Foundation supports professionals currently practicing in EMS and promising leaders outside of the industry who seek a career in the emergency medical industry.

To foster the growth of strong leadership within the EMS industry, the Foundation selects applicants who show strong character and management potential to participate in a program that provides formal and informal training and education in all key areas of the ambulance industry. A mentorship program led by ambulance company owners and respected leaders in the ambulance industry also provides participants with valuable insights and support.

We are also committed to taking actions that will benefit emergency medical service personnel through public education and training. We honor this commitment by providing training to the general public in basic emergency medical techniques and lifesaving skills, which may be deployed to assist others in distress until professional help arrives.

OUR HISTORY

The Priority Ambulance Leadership Foundation was born from the collective commitment among industry professionals to the next generation of EMS managers, executives and entrepreneurs. Our objective is to bridge the gap we believe currently exists in national management training and mentorship programs.

To accomplish this, the Foundation provides a year-long educational training and mentoring program to promising leadership candidates. Our goal is to tap into our industry expertise, resources and relationships to provide a premier EMS leadership training experience for our graduates.

The Foundation is led by Chairman Bryan Gibson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Priority Ambulance, LLC. Bryan formed Priority Ambulance, LLC in 2014, and it has since grown to become a family of companies operating as trusted local brands in 10 states. Bryan’s passion is to cultivate dynamic leaders who are willing to explore new and better ways to deliver services to the public. Bryan’s vision is the driving force behind the Foundation.
