Jose Vasquez embarked on his EMS career in 2002, beginning with Toa Baja EMS in Puerto Rico, where he served for eight years. During his time there, he gained invaluable experience in both 911 emergency services and interfacility transportation, ultimately rising to the rank of acting supervisor.

In 2010, Jose transitioned to Bayamon EMS, continuing his dedication to providing critical 911 and interfacility services to his community. In 2013, Jose and his family relocated to Florida, and in 2017, he began working for Positive Medical Transport on a critical care transport unit, further expanding his expertise. In 2022, Jose joined ATI Ambulance, where he quickly distinguished himself by providing both ALS and critical care transports. His exceptional skills and dedication earned him a promotion to field training officer (FTO), and soon after, he was promoted to assistant operations supervisor.

Today, Mr. Vasquez continues to deliver outstanding care to patients and provides invaluable leadership and mentorship to the ATI team, embodying the qualities of commitment, expertise, and service that define a true EMS professional.
