Community identity
A company with history, representation, and roots in the region it serves.
ATC is proud to be the first African American wholly owned EMS company in Gary, Indiana, to receive ALS certification from the Indiana EMS Commission. That milestone is not just part of the company’s history. It reflects leadership, accountability, and a serious commitment to serving the community with excellence.
Our team members live in the communities they serve, which gives our work a different level of care and responsibility. The phrase “Neighbors Caring for Neighbors” is not just a motto. It is the operating standard behind the brand.
Leadership
Community-driven leadership with a long view of what quality service should become.
Alex Dunlap III has served as Chief Executive Officer since January 2017. His leadership has helped guide ATC’s growth across multiple Indiana counties while maintaining a clear focus on quality patient transportation and meaningful community presence.
His background from Purdue University in Computer Information Systems, System Analysis, and Design reflects both technical discipline and strategic thinking. Combined with his community involvement and forward-looking leadership, that experience supports a vision for EMS service that is reliable, organized, and built for long-term impact.
More than anything, Alex’s role reflects stewardship. The goal is not only to run a company, but to strengthen how patients, families, and facilities experience medical transportation in the communities ATC serves.
