Palmetto Ambulance Service

A dream can be defined as hope’s image and reality as a state of being real. It is often said the difference between the two is ones desire to persevere when faced with the utmost perils.

On January 12, 1994, Palmetto Ambulance Service was a dream that became... reality. Three original owners having worked in the EMS field for many years possessed a desired to create a service that was different from any other EMS system. A service where compassion meant something, not just words spoken but illustrated through every life touched during transport; a service where professionalism is a key corner stone to all those served; and a service where technology and education merge to provide the most optimal care.
Since our first transport in Aiken, S.C. on January 12, 1994, Palmetto Ambulance Service has met the needs of over 500,000 patients throughout the Midlands. As one of the largest private providers in the State of South Carolina, Palmetto maintains the highest standards for others in the industry to follow.
