🚒🚑🚁 TRAUMAONE COMMUNITY PARTNER SPOTLIGHT 🚁🚑🚒

Meet Barron…Paramedic, Ameripro

Today we’re highlighting Barron, a dedicated paramedic with a heart for serving others.

Barron’s goal in EMS is simple… to be the best medic he can be while always putting his patients’ best interests first.

His EMS journey has included time with Hamilton EMS and Dixie County Fire & Rescue, along with serving as a volunteer firefighter in Lawtey. He’s currently a provider with Ameripro in Columbia County. Each stop along the way has helped shape the provider he is today.

When asked what he would be doing if he weren’t in EMS, Barron’s answer says a lot about who he is…

“I’d like to be a fisher of men for Jesus Christ.”

Outside of work, Barron enjoys spending time with family and friends and getting out for a ride on the SXS. And these days, he has an exciting new role outside of EMS…he’s a brand-new dad to a baby boy! 💙

Barron, thank you for your dedication to your patients, your community, and the people around you. We’re proud to work alongside partners like you.

Meet Nicole…EMT, AmeriPro

Nicole has been an EMT for four years after spending three years in corrections. She’s also a mom to two boys and hopes to become a paramedic, nurse and maybe even take to the skies as a flight medic someday.

Why EMS?
“I knew helping people was what I wanted to do at a young age. We show up on some of people’s worst days, and one of the best things to hear is, ‘Thank you for being there. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being so kind.’”

If she weren’t in EMS?
Probably still healthcare or making home décor.

Nicole, thank you for the work you do, the compassion you give your patients, and for trusting TraumaOne when you need us. We’re proud to work alongside you. ❤️🚁

Please join me in congratulating Jennifer Harrell, our Flight Outreach Coordinator and Stroke Educator, on being recognized as UF Health Jacksonville’s March Employee of the Month!

Jennifer was honored for her outstanding leadership and coordination of the Gate River Run medical operations, one of the most complex community events our team supports. Each year, TraumaOne Flight Services deploys a MASH-style field treatment tent to provide medical care during the nation’s largest 15K race. The success of this operation requires months of meticulous planning and coordination.

Jennifer works tirelessly to ensure every aspect of the medical response is in place, including a resuscitation area, water immersion tanks, intermediate care, a walking wounded treatment area, an oxygen bar, physical therapy services, and coordinated patient transport. She also goes above and beyond to ensure our private EMS teams have efficient access and egress routes to local hospitals, helping provide seamless care for participants when every minute matters.

Jennifer’s dedication, professionalism, and commitment to serving our community exemplify the mission and values of UF Health Jacksonville and TraumaOne Flight Services. Her passion for improving community health and ensuring the safety and well-being of thousands of runners is truly inspiring.

Congratulations, Jennifer, on this well-deserved recognition! Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to excellence. We are proud to have you as part of the TraumaOne team.
