Working at MED-ACT
Becoming an EMT or a paramedic can be a rewarding career as you are responsible for providing care to the sick and injured. Our medical clinicians provide both basic and advanced life support, including the administration of medications, advanced airway management, and cardiac monitoring.
Special Operations
MED-ACT maintains several special operations teams that specialize in different types of response. After their first years of training, many providers choose to join a special operations team in addition to their regular field assignment, train in different concepts and build upon their team building skills.
Community Education
Training classes offered by MED-ACT help residents to assist when an emergency strikes.
Group Leadership
MED-ACT uses a collaborative leadership structure to incorporate field input on a variety of management issues. Field personnel are encouraged to participate in any of these venues. Field input is an essential part of MED-ACT’s approach, helping to assure that our actions are coordinated and grounded.
Station and Fleet Information
MED-ACT units are located throughout Johnson County to provide advanced level emergency care with optimum response times. While each EMS unit has a defined response district, the districts are only representative of what is generally the "first due" area for a given station while the system is at rest.
