How We Started
A Vision of Excellence
A commitment to excellence is what led Josh Watts and Buddy Koon to create MedTrust in January of 2012. In many places there is a huge gap between the experience that “should be” and the experience that “is” both for employees, patients and facilities served by private ambulance companies. We understand the priorities of Hospital Systems and the patients they serve, that is why MedTrust strives to stand out in the crowd by demonstrating a real passion for medical transport by improving patient outcomes through excellence in mobile healthcare.
A Company
Worth Owning
This was an idea that CEO Josh Watts learned from childhood lessons taught by his father, himself a business owner in the construction industry. This somewhat elusive description is actually just two basic ideas that form the foundation of MedTrust. To be a company worth owning, we must to be a company worth working for, and a company worth working with.
