Cassandra Clark, a Paramedic at Medix Ambulance Service, has been an integral part of the team since becoming one of the first Paramedics at our Longview, Washington location. With ten years of experience, she has worked in a wide range of environments, from extremely rural areas to high-volume urban emergency response.

Cassandra’s passion for healthcare began at a young age. Inspired by her mother, who worked in skilled nursing facilities and hospitals, Cassandra spent her youth volunteering at the assisted living facility her mother managed. Her interest in emergency medical services was sparked when her father enrolled her in an EMT course at the Lovelock Volunteer Fire Department, and she’s been committed to the field ever since.

In addition to her role as a Paramedic, Cassandra serves as an EMT and Paramedic Training Assistant, helping manage training and recertification for her colleagues. She also works as an on-shift supervisor, supporting her team with her leadership and experience.

Medix Ambulance Service is proud to recognize Cassandra Clark as a 2024 Star of Life for her dedication, expertise, and contributions to both her team and the community she serves.
