About MEDIC EMS

In 1982 Davenport Hospital Ambulance Corporation began doing business as MEDIC EMS.  MEDIC started with four ambulances and 32 employees.  There are now 16 ambulances and over 125 employees that work out of eight post locations in five cities.

Our mission is to provide high quality, high value emergency medical services and health care transportation to the Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois region.  This is accomplished through the services of our Paramedic Divisions of Davenport/Bettendorf, Eldridge, LeClaire and Clinton, MED-COM and Transportation Division.

The Paramedic Division of Davenport and Bettendorf is operated out of five primary locations.  Crews are staffed into the various location based on a system status plan that is maintained by our MED-COM System Status Controllers.

In our Clinton, Iowa operation we staff one crew 24x7 out of Mercy Medical Center North Campus.  This crew responds to requests of service from Mercy Medical Center, various nursing homes in the area and tier requests in the greater Clinton Iowa/Illinois region.

Our Eldridge and LeClaire operations are staffed in an 'Alternate Delivery Model' or ADM.  A full time Paramedic is paired with a off-duty ADM Staff member 24x7.  This model has proven to be very effective and has been utilized as an example to other services throughout the country.

MED-COM is our 24x7 dispatch center that provides Emergency Medical Dispatch instruction to all callers requesting ambulance transportation. Dispatching services are also provided for Illini Ambulance in Silvis, Illinois and MED-FORCE aero medical helicopter.

Our Transportation Division services Genesis Medical Center through a weekday inter-campus shuttle.  We also staff a courier that services John Deere Davenport Works and all Genesis Medical Center campuses.
