This press release was recently sent to us:
Priority
Ambulance and its CEO Bryan Gibson filed suit today in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina against
Gary Poirier, a former employee of FirstMed, a company Bryan Gibson
led briefly in 2013.
According
to the lawsuit, Poirier is engaged in a smear campaign targeted
against Gibson relating to Gibson’s tenure at FirstMed. The smear
campaign appears intended to malign Gibson’s character, but it is
also threatens harm to Priority Ambulance’s growing business,
according to the lawsuit.
Gibson
served as the CEO of FirstMed for less than four months in 2013. With
a team of experienced managers, Gibson tried to reverse FirstMed’s
severe financial problems. Despite the efforts of Gibson and his
team, FirstMed was forced to file for bankruptcy protection at the
end of 2013. No FirstMed assets were retained by Gibson or his
companies.
Gibson
looks forward to vindicating his rights in the pending lawsuit and,
if required, to take appropriate legal action against others engaged
in similar misconduct. “We will continue to actively monitor
websites, blogs and social media and will take appropriate action
when we find defamatory and libelous comments,” Gibson said. “The
statements about me are outrageous and false. With this lawsuit, I
want to set the record straight and stop the illegal conduct.”

Quote.. No FirstMed assets were retained by Gibson or his companies. I must need glasses because I I would swear that he had several firstmed trucks sitting in Florence. One of his employees at Shoals also had to turn him into the state to get paid. I have no faith in this man.
ReplyDeleteI am also wondering why the Lauderdale County officials are not looking at suing Gibson for breach of contract. He is at least 3 trucks short covering the county and has laid off many people in the last month or so. Call response times are running excessive and the people of the county will pay. I just hope a life is not lost because he is wanting to save a buck and not live up to the coverage contract.
