Our Background

EMERGE was founded with a shared vision of improving healthcare access in underserved regions.

Our Executive Board members bring extensive experience in EMS and prehospital care, which has shaped our understanding of the unique challenges faced by rural communities.

Throughout our journeys, we witnessed the stark gaps in healthcare resources and the transformative power of tools like Tough Books, EMRs, and technology, to strengthen health capacity and create sustainable frameworks for improving health outcomes.

These innovations, when properly implemented, have the potential to change lives by bridging the healthcare divide and empowering communities.
