Flexible Shifts

Most Agency departments, to include Operations, are structured to work 40 hour work weeks with several shift length options and varying rotations to better suit work-life balance.

Custom-Designed Ambulances

Medic has over 100 top-of-the-line ambulances, mass casualty vehicles and emergency response assets that are expertly maintained by our own Fleet Department. Ask any crew member and they will likely vote for our Dodge 5500s as their favorite. These beauties are custom-designed from the cab to the patient module all based on employee feedback.

24 Hour Logistic Support

Medic’s Logistics Department works around the clock to stock each truck before deployment and restock after. Logistics also procures all the clinical supplies needed for both Medic and Mecklenburg County first responders, keeping patient care consistent.

State of the Art Facility

In 2018, Medic moved into its new home on Wilkinson Boulevard in Charlotte, just minutes away from the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. The new state-of-the-art facility was built  to improve workflow and efficiency. The campus of Medic headquarters includes an on-site gym, showers, mini-market and other amenities.

Patient Outcomes

Medic ranks consistently among the top EMS agencies in the nation for patient outcomes, particularly for cardiac arrests.

Industry-leading research

Medic leads its own research initiatives and also participates with industry leaders, ultimately contributing to EMS best practices across the globe.

Data-driven improvement

Medic utilizes the Institute for Healthcare Improvement methodology for improvement projects.  This work is championed by Medic’s in-house Performance Improvement team that consists of Education, Clinical improvement and Quality Improvement departments.

Career Pathways

No matter what your career you choose, if you join Medic’s team there is a clear pathway of opportunities ahead of you.
