Welcome back to Amarillo, Gunnar!

Today marks the launch of the Amarillo, Texas Nurse Navigation Program, an innovative initiative developed in partnership with local EMS provider Amarillo Medical Services and program pioneer Global Medical Response. The program empowers 911 emergency medical dispatchers to connect callers with the most appropriate care solutions, improving access to healthcare for patients experiencing non-life-threatening situations.

“Patients call 911 simply looking for a solution to a problem. Nurse Navigation offers the right healthcare solution based on the patient's clinical presentation,” said Dr. Gerad Troutman, National Medical Director at GMR. “Not every 911 call requires an immediate response. This program ensures patients with life-threatening emergencies receive immediate attention, while those with non-life-threatening needs are directed to appropriate, cost-effective care. This approach enhances patient care and optimizes resource allocation across Amarillo's healthcare ecosystem.”

Amarillo Police Officer Mark Simmons - we honor your heroism and service today, the 19th anniversary of your end of watch.

Officer Simmons and his partner were attempting to seal off a road in preparation for a pursuit being conducted in a nearby residential area when their patrol car was struck from behind by a pickup. Officer Simmons, who was in the passenger’s seat, suffered severe brain injuries and was hospitalized at three hospitals in separate intervals for three years before coming home in July 2008. Officer Simmons tragically succumbed to his injuries just months later, on December 17th.
