Patriot Ambulance Service

What Patriot Ambulance Service does

Patriot Ambulance Service is a privately held, veteran-owned medical transportation and emergency medical services (EMS) provider headquartered in Flint, Michigan, founded in 2004 by Jeff Yorke. The company operates a fleet of 50+ vehicles and approximately 300 employees across seven counties in Southeastern Michigan, scaling from an initial team of twelve. Its customer base spans municipal governments (via preferred-provider contracts), hospitals, skilled-nursing facilities, and individual patients requiring scheduled transport.

The service portfolio covers Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), Critical Care Transport (CCT), non-emergency medical transportation, wheelchair transport, community paramedicine, and EMT/paramedic training delivered through a partnership with the American Training Institute. Operations are credentialed under Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) standards — reportedly the company's seventh renewal — are HIPAA compliant, and are supported by memberships in the Michigan Association of Ambulance Services (MAAS) and the American Ambulance Association. Leadership comprises CEO Jeff Yorke and Vice Presidents Dominic Foster, Jay Johnson (Business Development), and Sara Dubey (Operations).

Revenue is generated through three primary channels: contracted preferred-provider municipal agreements (e.g., Genesee Township, Grand Blanc Township), facility-based transport contracts with healthcare providers, and per-transport fee-for-service non-emergency work. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting townships, counties, and healthcare networks. No funding rounds, external investors, or financial disclosures are on record; the company is closely held. Recent activity — two new township designations in March-April 2026, a seventh CAAS renewal, and expansion into community paramedicine and training — indicates active but measured regional growth.
