History Behind Stadium Medical
With a concept of exceptional customer care and good old fashioned fun, Stadium started providing emergency medical coverage for events and venues. We started standing by for the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rapids and the National Western Complex. As Stadium Medical grew, our leadership proved to be integral in sports team and venue medical operations. From Rodger becoming the first paramedic to travel full-time with a sports team, to planning for each imaginable scenario at each venue, Stadium Medical has established itself with many major teams in Colorado, several area universities and college club squads.
