This week, we lost a dear friend and colleague, Dennis Rohlfs. Dennis was a visionary leader who founded Med-Trans. His experience in the Vietnam War was what inspired him to create a safe and reliable means of emergent transportation to critical patients in need. In 1982, Dennis started Med-Trans’ first helicopter operation by bringing two competing hospital systems to the table. They agreed to sharing this helicopter service to better serve the surrounding rural area of Bismarck, ND. His business concepts grew and evolved to become a national air medical service. His vision was to build a company on a foundation of premier customer service, solution agility and an industry-leading safety environment, all while promoting a family, team and partnership culture. Dennis understood that a single solution/service model did not solve all of the industry needs, nor meet the challenges of the rapidly growing and evolving emergency air medical industry. As a result, he tailored Med-Trans' solutions to the partner hospitals, EMS systems and local community. This became the model Med-Trans would embrace and use to grow the Med-Trans family brand. Dennis’ care and compassion for the employees of Med-Trans and the communities in which they served is the bedrock on which Med-Trans was built. Our condolences go out to Dennis' family, in particular his son Tom, who is a VP on our business development team, and to all of you who worked with him and knew him as a friend. His contributions to the air medical industry will not be forgotten.
