After 35 years as CEO, Andrew Rand is retiring from AMT. Andrew’s leadership has helped transform AMT from a traditional ambulance provider into the region’s leading EMS organization. His greatest legacy, however, is the people, partnerships, and culture he helped build along the way.

We’re proud to welcome Todd Baker as AMT’s next CEO. Since 2020, Todd has worked alongside Andrew and our leadership team to help shape the organization we are today and is committed to building on the strong foundation already in place.

The phased transition, which will be completed on December 31, 2026, reflects years of strategic succession planning and reinforces AMT’s ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional patient care while advancing emergency medical services across Illinois.

While this marks a new chapter in AMT’s leadership, our commitment to caring for people and serving our communities remains unchanged. Please join us in thanking Andrew and welcoming Todd as AMT moves into its next chapter. Read our full announcement to learn more.

You don’t have to look very hard to find the people busting their tails to give back to the community. Every child should have the school supplies they need, and Scott and his team are hard at it to assure they do. We stand with them.

Ten years ago TODAY, Advanced Medical Transport took an important step toward making our communities safer by launching the PulsePoint smartphone app in our area. What began as an innovative way to connect trained citizens with nearby cardiac emergencies has become an invaluable tool in the fight against sudden cardiac arrest. Over the past decade, PulsePoint has helped alert CPR-trained responders to people in need, increased public awareness of lifesaving intervention, and strengthened the chain of survival throughout the communities we serve. Every second counts during a cardiac emergency. By empowering everyday individuals to act before emergency crews arrive, PulsePoint has helped create a community where more people have the opportunity to survive and recover. As we celebrate this 10-year milestone, we extend our sincere gratitude to our dispatchers, first responders, healthcare partners, and the thousands of community members who have downloaded the app and answered the call to help others. Together, we've spent the last decade proving that when a community works as one, lives can be saved. Here's to the next ten years of innovation, partnership, and saving lives. #PulsePoint #AdvancedMedicalTransport #AMT #CPRSavesLives #ChainOfSurvival #CommunityFirst #EMS #SuddenCardiacArrest #SavingLives
