(GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.) — Global Medical Response (GMR) officials announced today that CrowdRx has joined the GMR family of companies. Randy Strozyk, GMR Senior Vice President of Operations, said CrowdRx’s expertise in site-based medicine and resources combined with GMR’s solid reputation in the event medical arena is exciting news for those who attend large gatherings throughout the United States.
“For more than 30 years, CrowdRx and its physician-led teams have prescribed and delivered medical services for large events across the country,” Strozyk said. “Their commitment to compassionate, discrete medical attention—regardless of the location—dovetails perfectly with our guiding principles. This is a very exciting addition to the GMR family that immediately adds value and experience to our services and raises the quality of care for our patients.”
Connor Fitzpatrick, Executive Director for CrowdRx, said the company is currently implementing medical screening services for select clients and venues.
“CrowdRx uses a portable, rapid deployable thermal imaging fever screening system that is used as a first level mass screening test,” Fitzpatrick said. “The system can detect fevers for large-scale public gatherings, including conventions and major events. In addition, we offer the industry-leading mobile emergency room, CRX OMU (Operational Medical Unit). This versatile unit is used for major event coverage, and provides immediate access to critical care.”
In addition to thermal screening and the CRX OMU, CrowdRx offers physician-led and medic-level services for the following:
- On-Site Physician Services
- EMT Standby and Staffing
- First Aid Stations
- Public Access AED and Bleeding Control programs
- Emergency Operations Plans
- Consulting Services
- Concierge Medical (Athletes, Touring Artists, VIPs, etc.)
