About the Mobile Stroke Unit:

Are you seeking to join a community of EMT's that are dedicated to providing the best level of care possible? Then the EMT role on the IU Health Mobile Stroke Unit may be for you! Through decades of care, Indiana has been able to launch the state's first mobile stroke treatment unit.

Our team is looking for a motivated individual with experience working in a fast-paced, think-on-your toes environment, preferably within a busy EMS system or ED. The Mobile Stroke Unit is responsible for providing life or death service to patients, therefore team members need to feel comfortable, and confident, working independently.

These teams will be racing to the scene of patients who are having a stroke, provide a CT scan, and if needed, give lifesaving, clot-busting medicine on the spot. These team members will have the opportunity to work on a neuro ICU on wheels with some of the industry's leading equipment and technology.
