Our humble beginnings...

So, Event Medical Staffing of Ohio was born.

NEWARK — Sometimes life’s challenges turn into a successful career.
​“As a kid, I spent a lot of time hunting, fishing and riding ATVs with my friends. I also played baseball," Eric Burgess said. "This was challenging sometimes because of a birth defect that caused a six-inch length discrepancy in my left leg. As a child, I had 17 operations to correct the birth defect. I think because of all the surgeries, medical treatment, and physical therapy, I always thought I would be a physical therapist or orthopedic surgeon.”
​
Today, Burgess is the owner and CEO of Event Medical Staffing of Ohio.
“I manage the operations, clinical and business aspects of the company,” he said. “And I also work the events as a paramedic. We work all types of sporting events, concerts, fairs, festivals, motor cross, horse shows, industrial settings and film and TV sets.”
Our team of 40 staff members is composed of highly skilled and certified EMS and Emergency Management Professionals, boasting well over 100 years of combined public safety experience.
We deliver patient care following the protocols and guidance of a Physician Medical Director, enabling us to offer services that extend beyond basic first aid and CPR.
