Built for the Frontline: Equipping First Responders With Reliable, Quality Ambulances

For EmergyCare, the largest EMS provider in Northwest Pennsylvania, success begins and ends with people. President David Basnak emphasizes that no piece of equipment can replace skilled, supported professionals. Through ongoing education, training, and a focus on fair wages, EmergyCare invests deeply in its teams—ensuring they have the knowledge, security, and stability to provide the best patient care. 

That same philosophy extends to equipment choices: every ambulance is designed for safety, comfort, and efficiency. Partnering with Medix Specialty Vehicles, a trusted ambulance manufacturer, EmergyCare customizes vehicles to meet both staff and patient needs, creating a safer, more consistent fleet that reflects the company’s commitment to its people.

When an ambulance starts to show its age, deciding what comes next can feel daunting. Many departments assume that once a chassis wears out, the only option is to buy a new ambulance. But that’s not always the case.

In fact, remounting—the process of removing an existing patient module and installing it onto a new chassis—can give a well-built ambulance a second life. For many services, it’s a practical, cost-effective, and efficient way to keep trusted vehicles on the road.

That’s the focus of the Remount and Service Center in Elkhart, Indiana, which opened in the spring of 2025. Under the leadership of Matt Heflin, a 30-year veteran of the ambulance industry, the center specializes in factory-direct remounts for various ambulances brands.
