Ted Ryan, MBA, RN, EMT-P (ret) SYSTEM DIRECTOR MINISTRY SPIRIT MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION ted.ryan@ministryhealth.org (715) 393-3975 CANDIDATE FOR REGION III BOARD OF DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION OF AIR MEDICAL SERVICES STATEMENT OF GOALS I started my career as a paramedic in public service working my way up the ranks, into the hospital setting first as a flight nurse/paramedic, then into hospital administration. Over the course of 20+ years I have provided leadership in multitude hospital settings, including emergency, general surgery, cardiology, vascular, emergency medical services and air/ground medical transportation. After speaking with several of my peers in Region III, I was concerned that several services have not renewed their AAMS membership. The reason for this varies, but is it clear there is lack of communication and shared vision. As the Region III AAMS Board Representative my primary focus will be to ensure that the board hears and acts on concerns and suggestions that are forwarded by its members. To do this, I will rely on my skills in negotiation and problem resolution, thus building long-term relationships with all stakeholders. I am committed to initiate and maintain frequent communication with leadership of the services in Region III.
