Setting the gold standard in EMS care ⭐🚑

AMR Western New York is proud to announce the successful renewal of our accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS), the gold standard in ambulance service quality.

This prestigious accreditation requires agencies to demonstrate excellence in patient care, clinical oversight, safety, operations and continuous quality improvement through a rigorous review process and on-site evaluation by national experts.

We are especially proud to share that AMR Western New York is the only CAAS-accredited ambulance provider in the region, placing our team among a select group of EMS agencies across the country and internationally to achieve this distinction.

This recognition reflects the incredible dedication of our EMTs, Paramedics, dispatchers, supervisors and support staff who serve our community every day with professionalism, compassion and clinical excellence.

This accreditation is more than a certification. It is a reflection of our promise to provide trusted, high-quality emergency medical care whenever our community needs us most.

There’s a moment after the call ends.
When the sirens quiet.
When the patient is safely in care.
When the adrenaline settles.

In that moment, there’s something powerful. Knowing you showed up when someone needed you most!

For our medic teams at AMR Western New York, it’s more than a job. It’s the privilege of helping someone on one of the hardest days of their life.

That feeling never gets old. 🚨🚑

Western New York, we need you ‼️

EMS has long been underfunded by Medicaid in New York, and rising costs continue to outpace inflation. Now, a proposed Medicaid crossover cut threatens to further destabilize ambulance services across the state, putting emergency response resources at risk.

The United New York Ambulance Network (UNYAN) has launched a grassroots advocacy effort urging our elected officials in Albany to reject this cut and it takes less than two minutes to make your voice heard!

Your support could make a meaningful difference in protecting EMS services.

Thank you for your support 🚑🚨

Excellence in EMS starts with humility and compassion, and Erin Benduzla embodies both.

Erin currently serves as a Paramedic and is already setting her sights on pursuing additional schooling in the medical field. Her commitment to growth reflects the very best of what EMS should be - always learning, always improving.

Erin shares this powerful reminder:
“It’s easy to think ‘you’ve got this’ after running a call smoothly just once, but complacency creeps in when you stop questioning yourself. Seek feedback, even when it’s hard, and don’t let ego get in the way of growth.”

Humility, accountability, and a drive to continually sharpen her skills elevates her patient care and continues to strengthen our entire team!

Thank you, Erin, for showing up every day for our patients, partners and the Western New York community. 🚑

Thank you to 7 News WKBW for sharing this important story. The proposed cuts target ambulance services for people eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, typically residents who are 65 and older, have low incomes and tend to have more medical issues than the general population.
