AMBULANCE ASSOCIATES

This page was last updated on: May 11, 2010

As we reach 40 years of service to the greater Canton community, Ambulance Associates is dedicated to setting the bar even higher.

We provide the highest level of emergency medical service....and ALL forms of medical transportation. We also provide "recurring" transfers of dialysis, radiation and patients undergoing various types of therapy. We are always eager to address and coordinate each patient's individual transfer needs.

We are the City of Canton's ONLY locally-owned and locally-managed provider, Ambulance Associates was founded by Richard Babb in 1969 as a branch of Welch's Funeral Service, now known as Welch-Sekeres-Lewis Funeral Home. ( Thanks to Steve and the late Jean Sekeres for their encouragement, support and patience in those early days!) Incidentally, you can roll back time and see our first ambulances.

We are happy to offer prescheduled transportation with our fleet of wheelchair vans. Our ambulette services rise above our competition...

ALL wheelchair vans are oxygen-equipped

Staffed by EMT's and Paramedics for

optimal patient care.

Residential clients are welcomed

No 24-hr advance booking "rule" at Ambulance Associates, Inc.

Lots of things have changed since 1969! We rose from Basic Life Support to Advanced Life Support capabilities in 1978 with paramedics, heart monitors, IV's and drugs, Our ALS services have literally brought the emergency room to thousands of patients since then.

Co-owner Nazimoon Babb joined Ambulance Associates in 1993 and now serves as Chief Dispatcher and President.

We're most proud of our core group of committed, dedicated personnel. 50% of our staff members have 10 years of service, 30% have 15 years, 70% have 5 years. We believe in and actively promote employee longevity as a viable symbol of our commitment to professionalism. And four of our field and administrative folks are college graduates with Bachelor Degrees; two more have Associate Degrees. Our newly-hired employees gain from the guidance provided in the field by our veterans.

Our skillful staff of Paramedics, EMT's and Administrative Support Personnel awaits YOUR service request. We invite your questions and comments.
