At Rowland Emergency, our primary commitment is to equip Ontario’s EMS agencies with reliable, high-performance medical transport equipment and unwavering support. We understand the critical nature of your work and the complexities of procurement. While we pride ourselves on strong, direct relationships with our partners, we also recognize that many paramedic services operate within structured group purchasing frameworks, such as HealthPRO.
To ensure all agencies can access our solutions seamlessly, Rowland Emergency now offers a dual procurement pathway: direct purchasing or through HealthPRO for select Stryker patient transport products. This approach ensures you can adhere to your internal purchasing policies while still benefiting from our expertise and trusted Canadian service.
Understanding Your Procurement Options
HealthPRO Pathway: Compliance and Convenience
For EMS agencies that are HealthPRO members, our collaboration allows you to order essential Stryker equipment directly through your existing HealthPRO agreements. This pathway is ideal if your organization:
- Operates under purchasing policies that mandate HealthPRO vendor alignment.
- Needs to satisfy specific internal procurement procedures for acquiring capital equipment.
- Wishes to leverage existing HealthPRO agreements while continuing to work with a familiar and trusted distributor like Rowland Emergency.
This option simplifies the procurement process, providing a compliant route without compromising on product quality or dedicated support.
Direct Purchasing: Flexibility and Customization
For agencies not bound by specific group purchasing mandates, we continue to recommend direct purchasing through Rowland Emergency. This model offers distinct advantages:
- Quicker Timelines: Direct communication often streamlines the order and delivery process.
- Customization: Direct discussions allow for tailored equipment configurations to precisely meet your unique operational requirements.
- Enhanced Collaboration: A direct relationship fosters closer partnership, enabling more flexible and responsive solutions.
The choice between these pathways depends on your agency's specific operational needs and internal procurement framework. Our team is ready to help you determine the optimal route.

Through both procurement methods, you gain access to the same highly regarded Stryker patient transport products, proven for their durability, ergonomic design, and significant contribution to safety:
