Greg Sheumaker

As an experienced Paramedic and EMS Director with more than 20 years of leadership, I bring a career-long dedication to advancing emergency medical services, strengthening public health, and driving operational quality. I have led high-acuity transport operations, developed and implemented data-driven QA/QI protocols, and expanded EMS education and professional development initiatives. Holding a Master of Public Health with a specialization in epidemiology, I leverage evidence-based approaches to promote health equity and shape community-focused policy.

My leadership is further defined by strategic use of analytics, coordination of emergency operations, and active service on the Lake County E-911 Board.
