HISTORY--MetroAtlanta Ambulance was founded in 2001 on the premise that no citizen should be denied access to emergency care, rehabilitation or wellness services due to a lack of transportation. Cobb County was in the middle of an economic boom with the population estimated to continue growing at almost twice the national average. Our local hospital emergency rooms were becoming over crowded, traffic congestion throughout the greater-Atlanta area was becoming increasingly worse and reimbursement for healthcare services where becoming more challenging for an aging population.

We began by hiring the best EMS professionals in the industry by offering a safe and friendly work environment, a competitive salary and benefits, state of the art equipment and a promise from the owner and management team to include all employees in the decision-making processes and profits of the company. Our vision to provide excellence in patient care and customer service has played a part in every decision we’ve made.

In July 2001, the state of Georgia opened the 9-1-1 Zone for Cobb County to bid and in September 2001, MetroAtlanta Ambulance was awarded three of five 9-1-1 zones in Cobb County including the cities of Acworth, Kennesaw, and Marietta. In 2002, MetroAtlanta Ambulance acquired Gold Cross EMS and began providing 9-1-1 services to the city of Smyrna, GA as well.

In 2003, 2004 and 2005 MetroAtlanta Ambulance was recognized by the Cobb Chamber of Commerce as one of the top 5 small businesses in Cobb County and in 2006, the Cobb Chamber recognized MetroAtlanta Ambulance as the 2006 Small Business of the Year.

In 2007, MetroAtlanta Ambulance became one of only 136 ambulance services in the world and the first in the metro Atlanta area to receive accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS), the gold standard of quality service in the EMS industry.

What began with 10 employees operating 2 ambulances grew in less than six years into the largest privately owned ambulance service in the state of Georgia, now managing a fleet of more than 50 vehicles and employing more than 180 professional medics and support personnel.

Today in the spirit of a true public/private partnership among MetroAtlanta Ambulance and the local city and county public safety agencies, we are ensuring the appropriate level of emergency care is on scene within minutes of notification.

MetroAtlanta Ambulance Service is providing Basic and Advanced Life Support Ambulance Services, Critical Care Transport, non-emergency medical van and wheelchair transportation and special event coverage to citizens throughout the greater metro Atlanta area including Cobb, Cherokee, Douglas, Paulding, Fulton and DeKalb Counties. Our serve area covers more than 200 square miles and over 1 million lives.
