What if you were injured with an ambulance on the way, and a doctor also rushed to your side?
That's already a reality in parts of Illinois, including this region, with Pro Ambulance being the latest to put a physician response vehicle on the road in an effort to bring more medical expertise where it's needed in the Champaign-Ur- bana and Danville com- munities.
The doctor behind the wheel, Presence Health EMS Director Dr. Kurt Bloomstrand, is bringing prior experience as part of an ambulance crew. He worked his way through medical school as an emergency medical technician.
