☀️ Sunshine has a way of bringing perspective and a bit of rejuvenation... something every clinician and leader needs from time to time.

As teams gather at CV Transforum Spring 2026, Sanibel Symposium 2026, and NTI 2026, it’s a chance to step out of the day-to-day and see things with fresh eyes.

At Integration Health, we help carry that clarity forward through industry-leading training, proven program development, and experienced ECLS coverage across ECMO, perfusion, NRP, and shock.

If you or your team will be at one of these excellent events, message our team and let’s connect in person! 🤙

🤡 No foolin’… getting caught without coverage is no joke. When the unexpected hits - PTO gaps, FMLA, census spikes - you need more than a backup plan. You need a partner who shows up ready.

Integration Health delivers:
☑️ ECMO Specialist staffing
☑️ Perfusion coverage
☑️ Flexible options from PRN to guaranteed support

Because patient care doesn’t pause and neither should your coverage.

Don’t be the punchline.
Be prepared. Be covered.

🪧 If you’ve been thinking about expanding your skillset, this is your sign. These courses are built for the entire care team: https://bit.ly/NEOPEDS
ECMO Training & Simulation Courses for:
- RNs
- RRTs
- Perfusionists
- Physicians & APPs
ECMO Collaborative Care & Mobilization Simulation Courses for:
- PT/OT and other Rehab Professionals working with critical care patients

Because great ECMO care isn’t siloed—it’s a coordinated team effort.

And if you primarily work in adult ECMO, this is a powerful opportunity to cross-train and understand the unique physiology, equipment considerations, and decision-making that come with neonatal and pediatric patients.

The clinicians who thrive in ECMO are the ones who stay curious, stay prepared, and keep sharpening their skills before the moment comes.

Spots are limited...don’t wait until the course is full and you’re on the outside looking in.

👉 If this is on your radar, register now.
👉 If you know someone who’s been wanting to grow in ECMO, send this to them.

Let’s keep building stronger, more prepared ECMO teams together!

What a fantastic end to Day 1 of SCCM 2026!
Dr. Jon Marinaro lead ECMO enthusiasts on an incredible journey though fine wine and thoughtful ECMO conversation.

🏃‍♂️ Our team is hitting the ground running.... starting at SCCM 2026 in Chicago (March 22–24) and heading to AmSECT 2026 in Austin, TX (March 24–29).

✌ Two conferences. Two incredible opportunities to connect with critical care clinicians, perfusionists, ECMO Specialists, and program leaders who are all working toward the same goal: better outcomes for critically ill patients.

At both stops, we’re focused on what we do best:
-Strengthening perfusion programs
-Launching & optimizing ECMO programs
-Supporting teams with experienced perfusionists and specialists
-Delivering high-impact training and simulation

Whether it’s in the ICU, the OR, or the sim lab... prepared teams make the difference.

If you’re attending either conference, let’s connect. We’d love to hear what challenges you’re seeing in your program and share how we’re helping teams solve them.

Luck favors the prepared. In ECMO...There’s preparation. There’s repetition. There’s a team that knows what to do when seconds matter most.

This St. Patrick’s Day ☘️, we’re not relying on luck...we’re building it.

At the Integration Health simulation center, clinicians train in high-fidelity, real-world scenarios that translate directly to the bedside. And for programs that need it, we bring that same experience onsite; customized to your team!

Whether you’re launching, scaling, or strengthening your ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) program. preparation is the difference.

Because when the moment comes… luck shouldn’t be part of the plan.

Our team is ready for a boot scootin’ good time at the 64th AmSECT International Conference in Austin, TX. In Texas they say “it’s not your first rodeo”… and for perfusionists, that mindset fits pretty well.

Whether managing cardiopulmonary bypass, monitoring flows, or responding when things get unpredictable, perfusionists stay calm, focused, and ready when it matters most.

Different arena. Same level of skill.

We’re excited to connect with the you all and talk about how Integration Health + are helping strengthen perfusion and extracorporeal support programs across the country.

If you’re attending AmSECT, come say hello. 🤠

ECMO Consulting, Training, and Staffing

ECMO Advantage has been providing ECMO services as a corporation since 2007. Our team of ECMO Advantage Specialists are the best of the best.

Founded in 2007 by Randy Bartilson, ECMO Advantage offers the most customized services to the greater Extracorporeal Community. Randy brought his unique perspective as an ECMO Specialist and Coordinator, combined with practical experience, to the cutting edge of our industry by gathering Specialist experts from around the United States. This premier team covers all aspects of staffing, training, and consulting to ECMO Programs across the country. At the onset of launching ECMO Advantage, it had been difficult to find staffing support outside of an immediate institutions’ team roster. Randy changed the landscape of the ExtraCorporeal Community by building his company to provide solutions that allow partners to pool or contract resources. As the ExtraCorporeal Community continues to evolve and grow, ECMO Advantage is leading the way.

ECMO Advantage is the pre-eminent provider of extracorporeal related services to the healthcare community. In 2018 we launched a new training facility unlike any other. EC², a state of the art ExtraCorporeal Education Center, houses two high-fidelity ICU simulation rooms connected by a state of the art control room. EC² is designed to create a comfortable, casual atmosphere while facilitating the most beneficial, wholistic simulation and complete learning experience.

Our classes have been filling up and we are opening new sessions as we are able. If you are interested in attending training guided by the ELSO Guidelines at EC², register soon while seats are available.
