ABOUT THOMAS H.

My background includes: 6+ years of experience as an emergency medical technician. I worked at DispatchHealth as a DispatchHealth Medical Technician (DHMT) in the Richmond, VA market for over 5 years and was the longest tenured RIC DHMT. Served on various national committees, served as a market trainer, trained DHMTs both locally and across the East Coast, traveled to a variety of markets on the East Coast, and cross trained with the hybrid telehealth modality. Separated from company after organizational restructuring ahead of a merger leading to the RIC market closure in June 2025. I have seen patients in a variety of modalities, mostly within the home: urgent acute care, post-acute or bridge care following discharge from a local hospital, and hybrid telehealth or telepresentation. This is on top of my experience in volunteer 911 emergency medical services (EMS), inpatient pediatric acute, and intensive care, as well as critical care in the emergency department. Additionally, I have experience in leadership, coaching, and operational efficiencies from my time as a volunteer EMT as a crew chief and board member. Technologically savvy, a quick learner, and champion of thinking outside the box while promoting quality and safety. I am very passionate about the way in which we deliver care, and have had the honor to meet patients where they are and provide quality healthcare without the need of traditional brick-and-mortar facilities. My goal is to expand my broad knowledge of the United States healthcare system as I have recently completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Health Services with a General Business minor at Virginia Commonwealth University. I hope to expand not only my clinical knowledge, but my capabilities with a unique understanding of how the healthcare system works and operates for better patient care overall. I plan on attending nursing school in the fall of 2025.
