American Medical Response has put two employees on unpaid leave and started an investigation regarding culturally insensitive comments on a photo posted to Facebook.
We are profoundly disturbed by these comments and deeply saddened that their words might reflect how many will regard us. American Medical Response team members take great pride in our company's culture of diversity and inclusion and we strongly condemn posts and comments that promote hatred and bigotry.
“We take this situation very seriously. Statements like the ones posted on Facebook are not what we are about, and we do not condone them in any form or fashion. AMR teams across Washington and the United States are compassionate caregivers and we care deeply for all of our patients.” Tom Wagner, West Region CEO, American Medical Response.
