On March 23, Huron Valley Ambulance appointed Jerry
Zapolnik as the company’s Chief Operating Officer. As COO, Zapolnik will
oversee and coordinate the activities of all HVA operating units. He
will also coordinate communications, information systems, fleet and
facilities, and EMS education programs.
The COO position was created by HVA’s Board of Trustees to improve the
coordination of operations activities and allow President and CEO Dale
Berry to focus on strategic planning, governance and other executive
responsibilities. Berry has served as both CEO and COO since HVA was
created 27 years ago, a dual role that became more complex as HVA has
grown.
Zapolnik joined HVA in 1989 as Support Services Manager and was later
promoted to Vice President of Support Operations. He holds a bachelor’s
degree in information technology from Colorado Technical University, and
is currently enrolled in their MBA program. He is a licensed paramedic
and paramedic instructor/coordinator.
“Over the past 20 years at HVA, Jerry has provided leadership and
continuity. He is also experienced in many areas of EMS,” states Dale
Berry. “We are pleased to have someone of his caliber as our new COO.”
Based in Washtenaw County, Huron Valley Ambulance is a nationally
accredited, nonprofit community ambulance service providing pre-hospital
care in eight southeast and south central Michigan counties.
