Our Team
Rich Rattan is the chief executive officer of Safe Health Educators, a company he founded in 2006 to provide comprehensive instructional resources to a broad array of healthcare professionals seeking to advance their expertise. From 2011 to 2013, he acted as the lead instructor of the business, relying on his applied experience as a registered nurse. His industry credentials are impressive: He is also personally trained as a paramedic and worked in critical care for the North Shore-LIJ Health System from 2003 to 2007, and Mr. Rattan holds an Associate of Science, with an emphasis in emergency management, as well as a bachelor's degree.
Mr. Rattan ultimately decided to develop and deploy his training outlet so that he could, in essence, train the trainers. Before initiating his entrepreneurial venture, however, he was proudly dedicated to his work for the United Nations. Appointed as a fire captain and later became Fire Chief with the United Nations Fire Rescue from 1989 to 2002, he frequented war-tom nations to assist in the development and launch of firehouses, which included ensuring the staff members were adequately prepared. He is also a United States Air Force veteran who left the military in 1985 after being stationed in Germany. Ultimately, Mr. Rattan has committed to numerous health systems throughout his career, gaining distinguished experience across the distinct platforms of nursing, paramedicine, and education.
At Safe Health Educators, Mr. Rattan is responsible for company operations. He oversees a team of instructors and full-time employees who administer daily classes six days a week. A registered training center for the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians and under an established contract with the North American Partners in Anesthesia, Safe Health Educators serves a diverse population; moreover, Mr. Rattan's firm partners with regional institutions such as Mount Saini South Nassau Communities Hospital and New York University Hospital. Nursing continuing education is a significant part of Mr. Rattan's focus, and he is also pleased to collaborate with the American Heart Association as a designated training center to provide American Heart Association certification Classes and offers OSHA instructional classes construction.
Mr. Rattan is gratified to have received ample recognition for his accomplishments. In 2022, for example, he accepted the Excellence in Healthcare Award; in 2020, he secured a Small Business Development Center Veteran of the Year Award. He also counts numerous commendations and citations granted to him from the fire department, as well as for his volunteer hours, as notable professional achievements. Ultimately, Mr. Rattan attributes his success to hard work and a profoundly independent spirit; moving forward, he seeks the ideal balance between work and family life.
