The growth of Acadian Ambulance Service in its more than three decades of service has brought our company international recognition. But to those of us who wear the insignia, the most remarkable accomplishment in our journey - from a fledgling service with two ambulances and eight medics in 1971 to the largest private rural ambulance service in the nation - is the fact that our advanced capabilities and massive resources serve not only metropolitan areas where such quality is expected--but also provide the highest possible level of pre-hospital emergency medical care and disaster response to the most remote parts of the primitive swamps and offshore facilities in the open Gulf....giving people in the rural parts of our service area the same protection that residents of America's largest cities enjoy.

At the heart of our operation is the recruitment of dedicated, caring people, who are given the best on-going training possible. Because of the remarkable dedication of all our people - more than 2500 - Acadian Ambulance Service, has won the highest honors in our industry.

An employee stock ownership program instituted in 1993, greatly enhances employee benefits. As employee owners we all share in the company's future. Our commitment to public service is reflected in our community education programs designed to better prepare citizens for emergency situations...from accident or sudden illness in the home to community disasters. Through excellence in emergency medical service Acadian Ambulance Service provides tangible, economic and social benefits that extend beyond our total commitment to saving lives and ensuring the health and safety of our patients. Acadian will continue to provide a level of service that is recognized nationwide for its superiority and known locally for our commitment to community.

And, we will continue to save lives...everyday
