This month, Lafayette-based Acadian Ambulance, the nation’s largest employee-owned ambulance service, is celebrating 54 years of service. Porter Taylor, Acadian Ambulance’s director of operations in Louisiana, commends the many medics who have continued to value its patients all these years.
“Establishing that passion for good patient care and allowing people to make a difference in people’s laws has just been one of the big draws for us, and I think that’s one of the foundations of why we’ve become a great ambulance company,” Taylor said.
Acadian Ambulance is the nation’s largest employee-owned ambulance service, providing transportation and medical services in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee. Taylor says Acadian Ambulance is a great opportunity for younger adults, especially for those who want to work in the medical field.
“Give people an opportunity to come aboard and have a career if they want, or just a stepping stone if they have aspirations to become anything else in the medical field. It’s a great starting point,” Porter said.
