Patriot Ambulance

What Patriot Ambulance does

Patriot Ambulance is a Philadelphia-based, privately held medical transportation provider founded in 2003 and operating continuously under original ownership for over 23 years. The company delivers emergency 911-dispatched ambulance response, scheduled non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT), and a portfolio of specialty transport services to hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis centers, and individual patients across the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area. Core service lines include Advanced Life Support (ALS), Basic Life Support (BLS), Wheelchair Transportation, Critical Care Transportation, Bariatric Transportation, and Shuttle & Bus Service, supported by a fleet of more than 50 vehicles and a staff exceeding 120, including paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, paratransit operators, and vehicle maintenance personnel.

Operations run 24/7/365, with a dispatch hotline, emergency hotline, and integrated Traumasoft Dispatch software providing GPS monitoring across the fleet; the company also maintains an onsite vehicle maintenance center and a full-time compliance officer to manage evolving EMS regulations. Patriot's revenue model is per-transaction for transport services (billed to patients, insurers, and contracted healthcare facilities) and per-student tuition for a recently introduced EMT certification training program priced at $2,195 per 8-week cohort. Customer acquisition combines 911 emergency routing, contracted partnerships with named facilities such as Brookside Health Care and Rehabilitation Center, Andorra Woods Health Care Center, and ARA Bristol Dialysis LLC, plus direct hotline intake and a content-marketing website. The company is self-funded with no disclosed venture, private equity, or institutional investment, and shows no M&A, leadership change, or restructuring activity in the available data.
