AmeriPro Health Partners with Orion Talent to Boost Veteran Hiring in EMS
AmeriPro Health has taken a significant step in strengthening its workforce and expanding its national footprint by announcing a strategic partnership with Orion Talent. This collaboration is focused on increasing the recruitment of military veterans into critical roles across emergency medical services (EMS), including Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), paramedics, and operational leadership positions. As demand for high-quality emergency care continues to rise across the United States, this initiative reflects a broader commitment to building a highly skilled, mission-driven workforce capable of performing under pressure.
Headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, AmeriPro Health has established itself as a leading provider of 911 emergency medical services and public health programs. The company works in close partnership with counties and municipalities, delivering essential care through a combination of advanced technology, efficient operational systems, and highly trained medical professionals. Its services include emergency response, patient stabilization, and medical transport—functions where speed, precision, and expertise are often the difference between life and death.
At the heart of AmeriPro Health’s identity is its origin story. The company was founded by Larry Richardson, a Marine Corps veteran and experienced paramedic. His background has profoundly influenced the organization’s culture, which emphasizes discipline, accountability, integrity, and a strong sense of duty—values deeply rooted in military service. These principles have helped shape AmeriPro Health into an organization that not only delivers high-performance medical services but also fosters a sense of purpose among its employees.
Richardson has consistently highlighted the natural alignment between military experience and EMS work. Veterans often bring a unique combination of leadership skills, resilience, and the ability to remain calm under extreme pressure. These attributes are particularly valuable in emergency medical situations, where professionals must make rapid decisions in unpredictable and high-stakes environments.
“Veterans bring leadership under pressure, mission-driven focus, and an unwavering commitment to the people who depend on them,” Richardson noted. “Those are exactly the qualities required in emergency medical services. At AmeriPro Health, we’ve built a culture where veterans can continue serving their communities while building meaningful careers.”
The partnership with Orion Talent is designed to formalize and expand AmeriPro Health’s efforts to connect with transitioning service members. Orion Talent is widely recognized for its expertise in helping military personnel successfully transition into civilian careers. By leveraging Orion Talent’s extensive network and recruitment capabilities, AmeriPro Health aims to reach a broader pool of qualified candidates who are seeking purpose-driven roles in healthcare and emergency response.
Through this collaboration, veterans will be introduced to a variety of career pathways within EMS. These include frontline positions such as EMTs and paramedics, as well as roles in operations, logistics, and leadership. The initiative is particularly significant because it not only addresses workforce shortages in the EMS sector but also provides veterans with opportunities to apply their skills in a familiar, mission-oriented environment.
Greg Summers emphasized the synergy between the two organizations, stating that AmeriPro Health has a clear understanding of how military experience translates into operational excellence. He highlighted that veterans are uniquely equipped to handle the demands of emergency services due to their training, adaptability, and commitment to teamwork.
“We’re proud to partner with AmeriPro Health to connect transitioning service members with meaningful careers in EMS,” Summers said. “This collaboration ensures that veterans can continue serving their communities while building successful civilian careers.”
Veterans already play a crucial role within AmeriPro Health’s workforce. Many serve as field medics, paramedics, and supervisors, while others have advanced into leadership positions within the organization. Their presence has contributed to a culture that prioritizes teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement. By expanding its veteran hiring initiatives, the company aims to further strengthen this foundation and enhance its ability to deliver high-quality care.
The EMS industry as a whole is facing increasing challenges, including workforce shortages, rising demand for services, and the need for rapid response capabilities in both urban and rural areas. AmeriPro Health’s approach addresses these challenges by tapping into a talent pool that is often underutilized in the civilian workforce. Veterans bring not only technical skills but also a mindset that is well-suited to the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of emergency medical services.
In addition to recruitment, the partnership also focuses on long-term career development. AmeriPro Health is committed to providing veterans with the training, support, and advancement opportunities they need to succeed in their new roles. This includes ongoing education, leadership development programs, and pathways for career progression within the organization.
The company’s use of advanced technology further enhances its ability to deliver efficient and effective care. From real-time data systems to modern medical equipment, AmeriPro Health ensures that its teams are equipped with the tools they need to perform at the highest level. For veterans transitioning from military service, this technologically advanced environment offers a familiar setting where precision and efficiency are paramount.
Looking ahead, AmeriPro Health plans to continue expanding its operations across the United States. As it grows, the company remains focused on maintaining its core values and ensuring that its workforce reflects the same level of dedication and professionalism that has defined its success. The partnership with Orion Talent is a key component of this strategy, enabling the company to scale its hiring efforts while maintaining a strong cultural alignment.
Richardson has made it clear that the company’s commitment to veterans is not just a short-term initiative but a long-term priority. By creating an environment where veterans feel valued and supported, AmeriPro Health aims to become an employer of choice for those transitioning out of military service.
“Our goal is simple,” Richardson stated. “We want every paramedic or EMT who has served in the military to know they have a home at AmeriPro Health.”
This vision underscores the broader impact of the partnership. Beyond addressing workforce needs, the initiative represents an opportunity to honor the service of military personnel by providing them with meaningful career opportunities in the civilian sector. It also highlights the important role that private-sector organizations can play in supporting veterans and strengthening communities.
As AmeriPro Health continues its rapid national growth, its focus on veteran hiring positions the company as a leader in both healthcare delivery and workforce innovation. By combining operational excellence with a strong commitment to service, the organization is well-equipped to meet the evolving needs of the communities it serves.
In an industry where every second matters, the ability to rely on a highly skilled and mission-driven workforce is invaluable. Through its partnership with Orion Talent, AmeriPro Health is not only enhancing its own capabilities but also setting a standard for how organizations can effectively integrate military talent into critical civilian roles.
