Madison Schatzer

Madison Schatzer began her EMS career in 2019 as an ED tech with Norman Regional Hospital before transitioning to work as an EMT with EMSSTAT. She joined McClain-Grady County EMS in January 2022 as a part-time EMT and advanced to Paramedic in February 2022. By October 2022, Madison had become a full-time Paramedic with McClain-Grady County EMS.

Madison is known for her dedication to providing the best possible care with compassion and respect for every patient, regardless of the situation. Her willingness to fill open shifts and staff additional ambulances during disasters exemplifies her commitment to her community. Madison also plays an integral role in the Region 6 REMS team and was key in establishing the REMS team at McClain-Grady County EMS.

A pivotal moment in her career occurred in March 2023, when she responded to a domestic violence call that deepened her passion for helping those trapped in dangerous situations. Inspired by her time at Norman Regional ED, Madison launched a discreet program at McClain-Grady County EMS, using black chapstick containers with hidden resources for victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. This initiative provides a subtle way for victims to receive help without alerting their aggressors.

Madison is highly respected by her peers and fire department personnel for her professional demeanor, positive attitude, and unwavering dedication to helping others. Always going above and beyond, Madison is the first to volunteer to assist her colleagues and brings joy to the workplace with her great sense of humor. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family, friends, her dog Hazel, and staying active at the gym.

Madison is a 2024 Oklahoma Ambulance Association Star of Life.
