We have expanded our critical care capabilities by equipping every Guardian Flight aircraft in Southeast Alaska with lifesaving blood products. This advancement allows our crews to begin lifesaving interventions where and when they are needed most. Through partnership with the Blood Bank of Alaska and SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC), this initiative brings critical care closer to home for communities across the region. Together, we are closing the gap between rural areas and the high-level care they deserve. #OneTeam

At GMR, we understand firsthand the value Veterans bring to the workforce, especially in the EMS field. Many of our own team members have proudly served and their leadership, discipline and commitment to service shine through in everything they do. Today, on National Hire a Veteran Day, we recognize the importance of creating opportunities for those transitioning from military to civilian careers. Veterans offer unmatched skills and a deep sense of service, which are qualities that align perfectly with our mission of providing care at a moment’s notice. To all Veterans, thank you for your service. For those considering their next mission, we invite you to explore a career where your skills truly make a difference. https://careers.gmr.net/military
