Royal Ambulance

We are proud to announce that six Royal Ambulance team members have been honored at the CALIFORNIA AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION's Stars of Life event this year! From EMTs who became inspiring leaders to clinical educators who transformed our programs, these individuals built teams based on trust, developed others selflessly, and consistently put patient care above all else. True leadership in healthcare isn't about titles, it's about empowering those around you. Andrew, Chad, Nate, Sergio, Tim, and Tiana exemplify this, and their influence extends far beyond their job descriptions. This prestigious recognition included a special ceremony in the California Senate, where our Stars received the formal acknowledgment they deserve for their outstanding service and dedication to our communities. Thank you to the CALIFORNIA AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION for organizing this meaningful event that highlights the exceptional professionals in our industry. Congratulations to all the Stars of Life honorees for your well-deserved recognition!

What Burning Man Taught Us About Leadership and Collaboration At Royal Ambulance, we’re no strangers to challenging environments—but this summer, we took it to a whole new level. Our team built and operated Rampart, a full EMS system on the Playa at Burning Man. And the experience? It taught us invaluable lessons about leadership, teamwork, and adaptability. Our CEO, Steve Grau, shares insights from the journey—how we pushed beyond our limits, tackled the unknown, and grew stronger as a team. What’s the key takeaway? “Trust your people, adapt quickly, and never underestimate the power of collaboration,” says Steve. Whether you’re in healthcare or another industry, the same lessons apply: focus on your people, trust your team, and be ready to face the unknown together! #Leadership #Teamwork #Collaboration #Adaptability #BurningMan #RoyalAmbulance

We’ve been quietly working on something big… and now it’s time to share it ?? At Burning Man 2024, Royal Ambulance had the unique opportunity to provide medical support in a way we’ve never done before—building and operating a temporary free-standing licensed emergency medical facility in the middle of the desert! The Playa is no easy place. From the harsh environment to the 24/7 non-stop nature of the city, this experience taught us so much about resilience, adaptability, and the power of collaboration. ?? We’re incredibly thankful to the Burning Man Project and Burning Man ESD for welcoming us into this amazing community. The lessons we learned, and the bonds we formed, will stay with us for years to come. ?? A huge shoutout to our dedicated team, who worked tirelessly through every challenge with heart and professionalism. Your commitment made this possible, and we couldn’t be prouder. This experience not only pushed our team to new heights but also reinforced the importance of compassion, innovation, and teamwork in delivering high-quality care—no matter the circumstances.
