Scottsdale, AZ (Merxwire) – SouthStar EMS, a non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) company based in Augusta, GA, is committed to continuing education and is recognized by the Non Emergency Medical Transportation Accreditation Commission (NEMTAC).

The company has expanded their capabilities to operate in multiple counties in Georgia and South Carolina under a single universal name. Each one of their divisions reflects the same high standards of professional skill and transportation that only 40 years of continuous service can teach.
“After becoming involved with NEMTAC and serving on their Advisory Board, CTS certification became an important program for us to support,” explains Jim Adkins, CEO for SouthStar EMS, “It’s more than just a patch on the sleeves of our employees. CTS certification represents an ongoing commitment to excellence and dedication to service.”
The CTS certification course is NEMTAC’s nationally accredited program dedicated to the non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) professional. This innovative online certification course covers a broad range of topics including customer service, life safety and driver education modules. The modules have been developed in partnership with CareerCert, an industry leading provider of online education. The CTS certification course is geared to meet or exceed many credentialing requirements that are prevalent within the industry.
