During Patriot’s 40+ years of providing emergency medical services, one lesson has been driven home again and again: Teamwork is the only way to ensure quality transportation. Patriot Ambulance, Inc. operates from the heart and is a locally owned and managed organization with deep roots and commitment to the industry. When Patriot establishes an EMS system, delivers ambulance service, plan a public awareness program or volunteer our time for community service, it is more than a matter of fulfilling a contract. We are well aware that the system we design and implement may very well be the system our family and friends rely on for life saving services. That awareness ensures a quality that can’t be written into a contract.
