In partnership with the Northwest Regional Medical Control Authority (NRMCA), Shaun Ramsey, DO, FACEP, EMT, EMS Medical Director for NRMCA and North Central Medical Control Authority (NCMCA) and MHC Medical Director of System Transfers, is helping bring advanced physician-level care directly to emergency scenes across Northern Michigan.
Responding alongside local EMTs and paramedics to 911 calls, Dr. Ramsey provides advanced assessment, treatment, and medical decision-making before patients reach the hospital, helping deliver critical care when every minute matters. His involvement helps expand access to emergency expertise during critical moments, from cardiac arrests, strokes, and serious motor vehicle crashes to mass casualty incidents. Dr. Ramsey also responds to more common emergencies, such as chest pain and shortness of breath, as well as complex situations where EMS clinicians may benefit from additional physician support.
“The ability to respond directly to emergency scenes strengthens the care we provide to our communities and supports our EMS clinicians in the field,” said Dr. Ramsey. “I feel proud to represent Munson while responding to calls in the community.”
