Community Ambulance

What Community Ambulance does

Community Ambulance is a privately held emergency medical services (EMS) provider headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, operating across Southern Nevada since 2010. The company delivers three primary service lines: (1) 911 emergency response under a franchise agreement with Clark County that covers 65% of the county's annual 911 calls (110,000+ responses per year), with exclusive backup provider status for the City of Henderson; (2) dedicated special event medical coverage for high-profile Las Vegas venues and events including MGM Resorts, F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, Allegiant Stadium, EDC, Las Vegas Raiders, and AEG Presents; and (3) scheduled and emergent medical transport services spanning Advanced Life Support (ALS), Critical Care Transport (CCT), Long Distance Transport, and Neonatal Transports, alongside a Health Science Center offering EMT, AEMT, and CPR certification programs.

The operating platform consists of a fleet of more than 90 modern ambulances equipped with Stryker Power-PRO powered cots (with Power-LOAD Fastener System) and Zoll X cardiac monitors, supported by a 24/7 dispatch center staffed by 700+ EMS professionals with 45+ years of combined experience in Las Vegas event operations. The company maintains the highest Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) accreditation, a credential it has held continuously since 2012, and is constructing a new 42,200-square-foot headquarters on a 6.6-acre campus in West Henderson, Nevada, with an anticipated 2027 opening to expand dispatch, training, and fleet maintenance capabilities.

Revenue is generated through a mix of contracted government 911 franchise payments (recurring subscription-style revenue indexed to a published Clark County rate schedule with annual CPI-linked escalators of 3%-5%), negotiated event medical service agreements with venues and organizers (professional services contracts), and fee-for-service ambulance transport billing (transactional revenue). Customer concentration sits primarily with the Clark County government franchise and a portfolio of Las Vegas entertainment and sports enterprises. The company is led by co-founders Robert Richardson (CEO) and Brian Rogers (COO), both former Mercy Ambulance and Henderson Fire Department veterans with decades of local EMS leadership, and remains privately owned without disclosed venture capital or private equity backing.
