Priority OnDemand is pleased to announce the appointment of Brenda
Staffan as the new Chief Government Affairs and Public Policy
Officer, effective immediately. With an expansive career spanning
over three decades in the emergency medical services (EMS) and
healthcare policy sectors, Staffan brings a wealth of expertise and
a robust track record of transformative leadership to the role.
Staffan comes to Priority OnDemand from her recent role as
Principal at Staffan & Associates, LLC, where her work focused
on developing impactful legislative and regulatory strategies that
support value-based care, enhance reimbursement schemes, and
strengthen government regulations to improve patient outcomes.
Previously, Staffan served as a Senior Advisor to the Emergency

in the implementation of this innovative healthcare delivery model
designed to improve quality of care and reduce unnecessary hospital
transports. Her extensive experience also includes leadership roles
at the Regional Emergency Medical Services Authority (REMSA) and
the California Ambulance Association, where she led significant
growth and strategic initiatives. Staffan also led legislative and
policy strategies as the Director of Federal Government Affairs for
Rural/Metro Corporation.
"Brenda's deep understanding of the complex dynamics at the
intersection of healthcare policy and emergency medical services
makes her uniquely qualified for this role," said Bryan Gibson, CEO
of Priority OnDemand. "Her leadership is exactly what we need to
advance our advocacy efforts and shape policies that enhance
service delivery and improve the healthcare landscape."
In her new role, Staffan will lead Priority OnDemand's
government relations and public policy strategies, fostering
sustainable partnerships and advocating for policies supporting
innovative and efficient healthcare services.
"I am thrilled to join Priority OnDemand and contribute to an
organization at the forefront of defining excellence in emergency
and clinical care," said Staffan. "I look forward to working with
our team to navigate the evolving healthcare environment and to
impact positive change through strategic policy initiatives."
