During interviews for this year’s we had a candidate ask what we do to stay relevant in the field and provide more than just “textbook knowledge.”
Here’s Oliver’s story:

Oliver is our Paramedic Program Director, and Critical Care Education Coordinator. Oliver got his start in EMS at the University of Illinois at Chicago, back when there was a campus ambulance!

Outside of the EMS Office, Oliver works as a critical care flight paramedic for AeroCare in the fixed-wing environment. Earlier in the year, he also worked in the vaccine clinics across all three Loyola Medicine hospitals.

Recently, Oliver was also appointed as an Emergency Medical Services for Children Innovation and Improvement Center Fellow, where he will be serving on the State Partnerships domain!

Today we mourn the loss of Registered Nurse, Paramedic, and EMS Coordinator of the River Grove Fire Department.

Robert “Dave” Reisinger BSN, EMT-P was an educator, friend, firefighter, nurse, paramedic, and gentle soul to many people.

Dave not only had an impact on Region VIII and the Loyola EMS System, but also touched many lives in Chicago throughout his tenure as EMS Coordinator for John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County, and Assistant EMS Coordinator for Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

Rest easy Dave, we’ve got it from here.
