About Northwest Ambulance
Northwest Ambulance is committed to creating long-term EMS partnerships by delivering efficient, innovative, high quality and cost-effective services that are built around the needs of the people, hospitals and the communities we serve.
One of our core beliefs at Northwest Ambulance is balance.
We tend to the health and satisfaction of our patients, employees and customers so that no one element is out of proportion or unduly emphasized at the expense of the rest.
Our decade of experience has shown us that systems placing too much emphasis on financial gain do so at the expense of employees and customers. Organizations that put the major focus on customers often experience high employee turnover, creating a shortage of critical talent. Providers that yield to employee demands often are unable to sustain the cost of their practices.
Regardless of the scenario, patient care and satisfaction ultimately suffer when an organization lacks balance.
At Northwest Ambulance we understand that balance correlates to stability – and stability leads to the dependable business practices and long-term relationships we desire.
