“Since Acadian Ambulance Service expanded into Texas I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work with David Williams on a number of occasions to garner his perspective on emergency medical services (EMS) in the state and to seek his counsel on a range of issues that impact our industry. I can depend upon David’s insight to always be well researched, timely and it regularly contributes definitive and measurable value to our organization. In his respected role as a writer and editorial contributor to a number of national business, trade and scientific journals, our executive team regularly trusts the information in David’s articles and we use it to educate and strengthen our leadership team or promote healthy discussion and debate. More than just “another consultant”, David is an experienced administrator possessing a roll-up-your-sleeves, get-the-job-done perspective that is tremendously valuable and not always easy to find for those of us working in the trenches of EMS and public safety leadership every day. Without question, David Williams is a remarkable professional asset to Acadian Ambulance Service and a true ambassador for improving the delivery of emergency medical services, public safety and healthcare in America.”
