ATLANTA (June 24, 2026) – AmeriPro Health (AmeriPro), an industry leader in emergency services, patient logistics, and technology-driven healthcare services, has earned the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline® Medical Command Provider achievement, receiving Silver recognition for its commitment to delivering standardized, high-quality cardiovascular care across the entire AmeriPro organization. This national recognition builds on AmeriPro’s recent Mission: Lifeline® EMS achievement awards in which the organization received Silver recognition in Michigan and Bronze recognition in Georgia for its commitment to providing rapid, evidence-based care to patients experiencing heart attacks and strokes. Together, these honors underscore AmeriPro's dedication to clinical excellence, strong medical oversight, and coordinated systems of care that improve patient outcomes.
“Arguably the most important link in the chains of survival for acute stroke and cardiovascular emergencies is emergency medical services and prehospital professionals,” said Kacey Kronenfeld, M.D., FAEMS, chair of the American Heart Association's Mission: Lifeline EMS Taskforce. “Early condition identification, stabilization and prehospital interventions, and initiation of actions within the regional systems of care provide patients with the best chance for receiving expedient definitive therapies leading to optimal outcomes and maximized quality of life.”
Mission: Lifeline® emphasizes a fully integrated system of care – from the initial 911 call and on-scene EMS treatment to seamless coordination with hospital-based emergency and cardiac services. EMS agencies receiving this recognition are acknowledged for their ability to quickly identify cardiac and stroke emergencies, initiate appropriate care, and reduce treatment delays through close collaboration with receiving hospitals.
“The American Heart Association Mission: Lifeline EMS awards are an important way to recognize the crucial roles and performances of EMS personnel in stroke and cardiac patients’ care,” continued Kronenfeld.
EMS professionals play a critical role in the chain of survival. AmeriPro clinicians begin assessment and treatment as soon as they arrive on scene – often up to one hour sooner than if a patient traveled to the hospital by car. Crews are trained to recognize the signs of severe cardiac and stroke emergencies, initiate life-saving interventions, and ensure patients are transported quickly to the most appropriate facility for advanced care.
"High-quality emergency cardiac and stroke care is built on strong clinical leadership, standardized protocols, and coordinated teamwork across the EMS system," said AmeriPro Health Director of Clinical Services Joshua Worth. "As a medical command provider, we are committed to ensuring our clinical oversight, communication, and evidence-based practices support EMS teams in delivering the right care at the right time."
Mission: Lifeline® is the American Heart Association’s national initiative to advance systems of care for patients with high-risk, time-sensitive conditions such as severe heart attacks and strokes. The program works to reduce barriers to prompt treatment through the continuum of care. When every second counts, seamless collaboration between EMS providers, medical command, and receiving hospitals is essential to delivering the best possible patient care.
“This recognition reflects the dedication of our paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, and clinical leaders, who work together every day to improve outcomes for the patients and communities we serve,” Worth added.
Established in 2018 in the Metro Atlanta area, AmeriPro has grown to more than 1,500 employees across 10 states. Its leadership team brings more than a century of experience in emergency communications, systems design, and medical transport operations.
