About Us
Our Story Is Your Story
Why We’re Here
Your home is our home, and that is exactly why we started Community Ambulance in 2010. As both emergency room wait times and the need for ambulance service increased across the Valley, we rose to the challenge because we wanted to provide Southern Nevada with unprecedented medical service.
Community Ambulance is locally owned and operated by two EMS professionals, who have more than 55 years of combined local EMS experience. It brings us joy to serve the community, not just because we are saving lives, but because we have deep roots and connections to Southern Nevada.
Our passion has allowed us to earn the highest CAAS accreditation possible since 2012 and garner new territory across Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, and Unincorporated Clark County. When we say we are committed to hometown excellence, we really mean it.
