Stars of Life Celebration

Each year, the American Ambulance Association (AAA), the nation’s leading EMS organization, honors outstanding EMS professionals from across the nation at the annual Stars of Life Celebration. This year, Zebulon Paramedic Fairon Gibson was chosen to represent Community Ambulance at the Stars of Life, held in Washington DC.

Far more than a typical awards ceremony, the AAA’s Stars of Life Celebration includes a full itinerary of education and advocacy opportunities. While in Washington DC, Paramedic Gibson met more than eighty “stars” from around the nation, in addition to some of the most influential members of the EMS industry. Gibson also spent an entire day on Capitol Hill, meeting with representatives from the state of Georgia to discuss critical legislative issues impacting the EMS industry.

"I was thrilled to be nominated for the 2015 Star of Life Award and even more excited to be named a recipient. It is so gratifying to know my hard work and efforts have been noticed and appreciated. Thank you Community Ambulance  for the nomination. It is easy to love what you do when you have a company that stands behind their employees 100%. Accepting the award in Washington DC was very gratifying and I gained a better understanding of the process that our State Representatives go through for our EMS system. In addition to meeting representatives from Georgia, I had the opportunity to visit historic landmarks and learn more about some of our country's rich history. This was a once in a lifetime experience that I will always remember. Being a recipient of this award makes me want to continue being the positive provider that I am and to encourage all Community Ambulance employees to strive to be the best of the best. I have no doubt that the future recipients of the Star of Life award will be as honored as I am. Thank you again, Community Ambulance and American Ambulance Association for the honor,” -Fairon Gibson.

We may have changed our name, but our service remains the same!

For over 38 years, Mid Georgia Ambulance has dutifully served the people of Georgia communities across the state. As one of the state's only CAAS Accredited organizations, it is our ongoing mission to do everything in our power to make our organization the very best it can be. In order to continue this legacy, we have decided to change the name of our organization to a name that more accurately identifies what we do. While the name "Mid Georgia Ambulance" made sense at the time of our founding in Macon in 1977, our footprint has expanded to reach communities as far south as the Georgia/Florida state line.As a result, we have decided to change our name to something that truly describes who we are: an organization with the sole purpose of serving communities. It is for this reason that we have begun the process of changing our name to COMMUNITY AMBULANCE. 

While we are aware that this change may take some getting used to, we are excited to begin this new chapter as an organization. We also want to make sure that everyone we encounter (our associates, our patients and our community) is aware that this change is the ONLY thing changing about our organization. We will continue to provide the same services and the same excellent pre-hospital care to each community we serve.
