Established by Gary Reis in July 2007, Access Ambulance Service provides thousands of transports each year to Rhode Island and Massachusetts residents. In its first year under Gary Reis' leadership, Access Ambulance Service provided 3,000 transports, and by 2015 had grown to provide more than 16 times as many transports annually. Rhode Island is Access Ambulance Service's primary market, and all Rhode Island hospitals have approved the company's ambulance service. Its work usually includes daily services for every Rhode Island hospital, including ALS, BLS, and Critical Care services as well as wheelchair transportation. The company also provides on-site critical care transportation services for Miriam Hospital and Kent Hospital and is part of the Critical Care Response Team of Landmark Medical Center. This success comes in part thanks to its relationship with Med Tech Ambulance Service. Access Ambulance team members, including Gary Reis, also serve on the management team of Med Tech, which allows Access to benefit from the experience and resources Med Tech has generated.

Gary Reis is a successful entrepreneur who has founded several companies in Rhode Island, which he has managed in addition to his philanthropic activities. These include Access Ambulance Service, where Gary Reis serves as president. Founded in 2007, Access Ambulance Service holds licenses to operate in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The organization, which provided more than 49,000 transports in 2015 with its fleet of nearly 50 vehicles , offers wheelchair and critical care transport in addition to Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) transportation services. BLS involves basic steps taken to stabilize a patient such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and is a prerequisite for training in ALS. Generally, a BLS ambulatory unit involves two emergency medical technicians, who are also trained in the use of external defibrillators and special resuscitation scenarios. While BLS focuses on the first stages of stabilization, ALS involves more advanced medical procedures such as administering medications intravenously. Moreover, ALS ambulatory units include a paramedic in addition to an emergency medical technician. |
