INDIANAPOLIS— A local ambulance transport company is starting a new program to help veterans transition into a civilian career. Trans-Care Ambulance is launching operation EMS, an initiative to help veterans build successful careers as EMT s and paramedics. The cost of the program will be covered for them if they go on to work for Trans-Care.“I’m excited to see what it all entails,” said Laura Alcazar, a Navy veteran.Alcazar was at Trans-Care on Monday morning getting ready for a ride along.
“I’ve always been interested in the I guess service type stuff, military, cops, EMTs, and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do so I thought I would try this out and see if I like it,” said Alcazar.The program comes at a time when there’s a need for EMTs and paramedics. According to the Indiana EMS 2025 report, run volume across the state has increased, but the number of EMS professionals does not meet the demand.
