Colleen Kaiser, Critical Care Paramedic/FTO, Gold Cross Ambulance

Colleen has been an employee of Gold Cross since 2018 and and has grown and developed into a leader and expert field clinician. As a Paramedic, FTO, and Preceptor, she consistently demonstrates excellence in patient care and education. In one week, she managed high-acuity calls, different partners, and a student—never losing focus or patience.

She has coached others through critical calls including an RSI on a diabetic, a childbirth with cord complications, a difficult intubation using SALAD, and a Christmas Eve V-Tach arrest. In every instance, Colleen remained calm, confident, and effective—leading to positive outcomes. Her clinical skills are exceptional, but her impact goes beyond medicine. She mentors with kindness, knowledge, and relentless support.

Colleen sets the tone, leads by example, and truly embodies the spirit of this award.
