Marjorie Muccie

National Manager, Controlled Substance Program

Meet Marjorie Muccie, a true veteran in the world of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), who has been with GMR for more than 25 years.

Marjorie's journey into EMS began in a rather unexpected way. As a new Registered Nurse (RN) working in the Emergency Room, she was challenged by an EMS crew to do a ride-along and experience life from their perspective. That one ride-along turned into a lifelong passion. Marjorie loved the excitement and challenges that came with EMS and decided to pursue it wholeheartedly, enrolling in EMT school the very next semester.

Throughout her extensive career, Marjorie has held various positions within the GMR family. Starting as a paramedic in Roswell, NM, she later transferred to Arlington, TX, taking on roles as a FTO (field training officer) and associate supervisor. Marjorie has also served as a clinical education specialist in Arlington, TX, and a clinical manager for multiple regions in Texas. Today, she currently serves as the national manager of the controlled substances programs with GMR.

Marjorie attributes her success to the skills she acquired early in her career that continue to be her guiding principles today. Maintaining composure in times of stress, displaying empathy and compassion, and communicating effectively are the cornerstones of her success in EMS.

Marjorie would like to take a moment to remember her partner, AMR EMT Steven Lovato, who tragically lost his life on a call they responded to on March 16, 2002, in Roswell, NM. This incident was a defining moment in her career and life. The support and resources provided by AMR were crucial in helping her navigate this challenging time. It's a testament to her resilience and commitment to the EMS profession.

Marjorie's journey through EMS has been marked by dedication, compassion and a commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. We are proud to have her as a valuable member of our team. Thank you, Marjorie, for your unwavering commitment to saving lives and making a difference in the communities that we serve.

"EMS truly is the best career in the world. It is so much more than emergency care. The opportunities are endless! Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone to find the best opportunity to make a difference." Marjorie Muccie
