Committed to Strong <br />Community Partnerships <br />In the more than 120 municipalities where Allina Health EMS works, the team <br />builds close working relationships with community leaders as well as staff at <br />every level from boots on the ground to leadership in firehouses, police stations, <br />city government and other key agencies. <br />Public safety integration is imperative in the future <br />of emergency services delivery.  As an industry, we <br />have been largely reactive.  Proactive community- <br />based public safety will provide the best service <br />to our community. Allina is actively collaborating <br />in an efficient manner with other public safety <br />agencies to make that happen. <br />Brian Podany <br />Police Chief, Blaine <br />I’ve been in this business for 42 years. I say <br />from a very optimistic and proud standpoint <br />that we are saving lives in Coon Rapids because <br />the different agencies, including Allina, work <br />well together. I think that really says a lot <br />about the system we have and the working <br />relationships here, which have evolved into a <br />really strong response system. <br />John Piper <br />Fire Chief, Coon Rapids <br />Allina Health EMS has done a remarkable <br />job as our emergency medical services <br />provider.  They have established an excellent <br />working relationship with our police and <br />fire personnel, which is absolutely essential <br />in the field.  They continuously seek ways <br />to innovate and improve their emergency <br />medical practices.  As a result, our citizens <br />benefit by living in a safer community. <br />Tom Lawell <br />City Administrator, Apple Valley <br />One of the biggest things Allina Health brings to <br />the communities they serve is leadership. They see <br />EMS as more than just 911 response. They see the <br />big package—community health programs and <br />community paramedic service. I think they go to work <br />almost every day thinking about where can we go from <br />here, what else can we offer our communities? <br />JB Guiton <br />EMS Commander, Woodbury <br />20 ALLINA HEALTH EMS COMMUNITY REPORT 2018 21
