Not to be outdone, however, Kibler is con-
tinuing on the course towards growing at a
right and healthy place by bringing technol-
ogy into the fray.
“With all the health care cuts, some of the
creativity in technology is going to come to
surface and it’s going to change the entire
landscape of free hospital care,” he said. “I’m
excited for what the future holds and how
paramedicine is going to change as far as be-
ing a community paramedic program.”
A GREAT PURPOSE
Another story that comes to mind for Kibler
details the plight of a young woman and her
child. Both had showed up to Medic-One’s
corporate facility, and the child was unre-
sponsive.The crew took care of the child, and
three weeks later, the duo showed up at the
office and Kibler was able to hold the baby.
Enriched by the stories and experiences from
years in the field, the humble nature of Med-
ic-One’s influence is something not lost on
Kibler.
“As I have gotten older and worked in the
ambulance business for 15+ years, I have
come to realize that money isn’t everything,”
he said.
“Through all the good and bad, it gives you a
great purpose to be in this business,” he con-
tinued. “Any time the day gets tough or the
job gets tough, you can always think back
to certain situations that give you that extra
push to put in more effort.”
