Feldner
new President/CEO of Integrity Ambulance
Greenville,
OH - Integrity Ambulance Service is pleased to announce
Brad Feldner, previously Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
(COO), as
President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
In 2005 Feldner, along with
father-in-law John Johnston, retired President and CEO of Integrity
Ambulance
Service, had a desire to start a family owned business to serve
residents with
emergency and non –emergency transportation needs.
With the help from fellow co-founders:
Jamie
Feldner, Brad’s wife, and Jodie Reed, Feldner’s sister-in-law;
Integrity
Ambulance Service opened its doors with 6 personnel and two ambulance
units.
In
July, 2011 Integrity Ambulance Service broke ground on a new
location on the east side of Greenville in the newly established
Integrity
Business Park. Shortly
after the
construction completion, Johnston decided to retire and Feldner and his
wife
purchased the company in September of this year.
Today,
7 years later Integrity Ambulance Service is still a family
operation with a fleet of nearly 60 ambulances and wheelchair vans and
over 170
employees making them the third largest provider of private ambulance
and
wheelchair van services in Western Ohio.
Integrity Ambulance Service operates
from stations in Greenville,
Celina, Wapakoneta, Sidney, Dayton, Findlay and Toledo.
They currently perform 60,000 transports
per
year.
“With our medical training
and health care background, Integrity Ambulance Service is committed to
providing high-quality, professional and compassionate care,” says
Feldner.
Feldner
is a 1995 graduate from Miami University acquired his EMS
Basic Training and Advanced EMT Training in 1996-97, before becoming a
Paramedic in 2000. He
has been a Darke
County resident since 2000. Feldner
currently resides just outside Greenville with his wife, Jamie and
their two
sons, Parker and Conner.
Felder
says with the aging population expected to grow
significantly over the next decade or two, as the baby-boomer
generation
continues to reach retirement age and beyond, demand for the services
provided
by Integrity Ambulance Service will continue to grow. He
also adds the challenge for Integrity
Ambulance Service will be to find ways to match the increased demand
with
pressures from insurance sources like Medicare and Medicaid to reduce
reimbursements, while costs to provide the services continue to grow.
“Any
company involved in healthcare; especially those focused on
the elderly population and long-term care are facing never-before seen
pressures to match reduced reimbursements and increased costs” says Feldner.
Even in light of this, Feldner remains
very optimistic. “We
have a very dedicated staff that is focused
on quality and patient-centered care.
That coupled with fantastic business
partner relationships with
facilities we serve, and excellent vendors puts us in a great position
for
continued success and growth.”
Feldner
would like to thank all of Integrity Ambulance Service
patients, business-partner facilities, vendors and staff for the
success of the
company thus far and continued success in the future.
Feldner adds a personal thank you to Jim
Magoto and Greenville National Bank, for their partnership in assisting
to make
this a smooth and successful transition.
