Tim Meyer

Senior Director of Emergency Operations @ Sanford Health

About

I am a career EMS provider with a strong background in EMS system and policy development. I am very fortunate to be involved with two of the finest EMS organizations in the country. As Sanford Health’s Senior Director of EMS Operations, I am responsible for F-M Ambulance Service and for the medical staff of Sanford AirMed. Sanford AirMed is a Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS) Accredited hospital based air-ambulance service where I manage the clinical and operational performance of a rotor-wing and fixed-wing air-ambulance system. Sanford AirMed has five bases in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. F-M Ambulance Service (FMA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanford Health, is an advanced life support (ALS) ambulance service operating in Fargo, ND, Moorhead, MN, West Fargo, ND, and many other communities in Cass County (ND) and Clay County (MN). FMA also operates Thief River Falls Area Ambulance Service in Thief River Falls, MN and Hillsboro Ambulance Service in my home town of Hillsboro, ND. FMA has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) and is the only CAAS accredited ambulance service in North Dakota and one of two accredited agencies in Minnesota. We are also a licensed EMS training institution. Sanford Health EMS Education is licensed in Minnesota and North Dakota training more than 10,000 students in EMS related courses each year. www.fmambulance.com
