🚑 Welcome to the Team, Cruiz!

We’re excited to welcome Cruiz to the Smith EMS team as a Sports Medic.

Cruiz is a Certified EMT who works full-time on a 911 ambulance in rural Wisconsin, bringing real-world emergency response experience to the sidelines at Smith EMS events.

As a former competitive athlete — earning honors like Varsity Baseball MVP, Catcher of the Year, and a State 2nd Place finish in swimming — Cruiz understands the intensity and commitment athletes bring to every game.

He joined Smith EMS because he wants to help support athletes’ futures while providing insight on player health and development.

His favorite part of the job?

➡️ Helping athletes improve 1% every day.

Welcome to the team, Cruiz.

🚑 Welcome to the team, Ann!

Ann joins Smith EMS as a Sports Medic and Certified EMT, bringing years of leadership, coaching, and high-pressure decision-making experience into the world of emergency medicine.

Before EMS, Ann spent many years coaching athletes, which sparked her desire to move to the other side of sports and help care for athletes when injuries happen. That experience gives her a great understanding of the game environment and the importance of quick, confident care on the sidelines.

Ann recently completed her EMT training and holds active National Registry and Minnesota EMT certifications, with training in patient assessment, airway management, bleeding control, and trauma care.

Outside of events, you’ll likely find Ann spending time outdoors, working out, or watching sports.

We’re excited to have her on the team.

President’s Day Weekend Recap 🇺🇸

337 games.
300+ hours of hockey.
65+ hours of basketball.
10+ hours of football.

From Orono to Hopkins.
Blaine to Farmington.
Circle Pines to Elk River.
Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Minneapolis — and more.

One weekend. Multiple sports. Countless athletes.

Our medics showed up visible, ready, and moving — not sitting behind a table. Fast response. Clear communication. Professional presence.

This is what a staffed weekend at scale looks like.

Thank you to every medic who stepped up and every organization that trusted us with their athletes.

Welcome to the team, Lindsey 👏

Lindsey is officially joining Smith EMS as a Sports Medic.

As a Certified Emergency Medical Responder working toward her EMT certification and pursuing nursing, Lindsey brings a strong passion for patient care, professionalism, and connecting with athletes at every level of play. Her background working closely with kids and families shows up in how she communicates, supports, and shows up on scene.

What stood out most? Lindsey values professionalism and individuality—two things we take seriously at Smith EMS.

When she’s not working events, she’s spending time with friends, staying active, or soaking up the sun.

Glad to have you on the team, Lindsey.
