EMS care

HealthONE is dedicated to providing support and educational opportunities to the EMS community. HealthONE EMS offers the largest and most comprehensive outreach programs in Colorado. Emergency medical services are available at each of our seven hospitals in the HealthONE network, located conveniently throughout the Denver metro area.

HealthONE is dedicated to providing expert-level care and increasing efficiency to ensure the best possible outcome for each patient. Our extensive hospital network covers the entire Denver metro area, allowing residents in North Denver, South Denver, East Denver, West Denver and the surrounding suburbs to receive high-quality and immediate care in their area.

Key EMS programs at each HealthONE Hospital:

This donation and ongoing commitment to students by HealthONE will make it possible for ACC to take Emergency Medical Services education to new levels of creative potential.

Our HealthONE hospitals offer a wide range of hands-on educational opportunities for the EMS community.

North Suburban Medical Center provides shadowing opportunities, in which EMS providers are paired with a physician or a mid-level provider and receive training toward state or national recertification. North Suburban Medical Center also participates in the AirLife Ride-Along Program and hosts a “From the Bus to the Burb” continuing education (CE) class every third Wednesday of the month.

The Medical Center of Aurora offers a monthly EMS and Trauma continuing education conference, targeted towards EMS providers and health care personnel involved in acute care.
