EMS1, an online news network for EMTs, paramedics, and EMS professionals, recently recognized Maryland ExpressCare’s response to a complex crash in Baltimore.

ExpressCare clinicians recently responded to a local crash involving a public bus and two passenger vehicles. After colleagues at the Baltimore City Fire Department rescued patients from the scene, ExpressCare clinicians administered blood to a patient, placed an advanced airway, and transitioned the patient to a mechanical ventilator—offering critical, life-saving pre-hospital services.

Associate Professor Benjamin Lawner, DO, MS, EMT-P, serves as Medical Director of Maryland ExpressCare. Designed primarily to transport patients, ExpressCare also deploys physicians and nurse anesthetists to incident scenes at the request of the Maryland State Police Aviation Command.
