Jonathan Herpst
@jonathanherpst
Experienced operations and emergency services professional focused on reliability.
What I'm looking for
I am an operations-focused emergency services professional with broad experience in public relations, fleet and operations management, and frontline patient care. I combine hands-on EMT experience with technology support and business development to improve service delivery.
In my current role I build referral relationships, represent the organization in the community, and support dispatch, scheduling, and communications systems while coordinating fleet maintenance and regulatory compliance. I have a strong track record of growing service lines and managing vendor relationships to minimize downtime.
My hands-on clinical experience includes EMT patient assessment, vital signs, wound care, and transporting non-emergent patients while updating medical records and coordinating with clinics and families. I also bring long-term leadership experience scheduling staff, interviewing, counseling, and maintaining safe, clean station environments.
I am committed to quality, safety, and continuous improvement, with certifications in EMT-B and BLS, instructional credentials, and experience across firefighting, volunteer emergency response, IT support, and content creation. I seek roles where I can leverage operations, emergency care, and technology to drive reliable, patient-centered services.
