David Ebert launched his career in EMS when he became an EMT in 2010. His early years consisted of him working in very busy areas in New York City and the Bronx. Soon after obtaining his Paramedic certification, he joined our team at Northwell Health Center for Emergency Medical Services in 2014. He started out as a 911 Paramedic working in New York City, then made his way into our interfacility transport division in 2017. He soon realized that he had a passion for teaching, so prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, he became an integral part of our training department at CEMS.

While in the training department, David tirelessly provided EMS education, hands-on skills training, and assessments. He evaluated countless new employees in the department both in the classroom setting and on the road. He is a huge advocate for change and always brings forward ideas for new techniques and processes to aid in education and ultimately improve patient care. David has also served on several committees within the department including the Crisis Incident Stress Management team, the Workplace Culture Committee, and the Research Committee. He also contributed to a research initiative that was published in the Resuscitation journal.

One of David Ebert’s proudest moments and latest accomplishments was when he successfully completed his Critical Care Paramedic course and was promoted to SkyHealth as a Flight Paramedic. He is hoping to get involved in training and education in this division as well. David also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from the University of Albany.

While not flying with SkyHealth or helping mold the new generation of EMS professionals, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Kristen, and son, Cameron. He also enjoys playing golf.

David is a crucial part of our team. His value is recognized by his peers and leaders, and he is extremely deserving of this award for all of his hard work, positivity, and dedication to this profession and to CEMS. Northwell Health is proud to honor David as an American Ambulance Association 2023 Star of Life!
