Our Employees Are Our Greatest Asset <br />For Gerhard Christ, those values translate to logging more than 1 million miles in his <br />work as a driver for Greater Minnesota Medical Transportation, based out of Allina <br />Health’s New Ulm Medical Center. Christ takes patients to and from their medical <br />appointments, and for 21 years, he has proudly covered a 100-by-200 square-mile area <br />southwest of the Twin Cities. “I make it a point to walk my patients all the way to the <br />door of the doctor’s office or hospital wing so I can make sure they’re in the right place,” <br />he says. “When people are not feeling good, they appreciate all the help they can get.” <br />INCREASING SAFETY FOR ALL <br />In 2014, one of our ambulances was involved in a crash that left two of our caregivers <br />seriously injured and killed the driver of the car that struck the ambulance. Following <br />that terrible incident, we recognized that caring for our patients, our communities and <br />our employees required an increased focus on ambulance safety. We involved providers, <br />Our medical transport drivers show just as much professionalism and compassion as <br />our clinical staff members do. <br />One of the hallmarks of Allina Health EMS is that we believe in the <br />opportunity for advancement. <br />18
