G&H Ambulance Service Inc. is a small, privately owned ambulance service dedicated to providing 24/7 emergency medical services and transportation to the community we serve.
Unlike town- or hospital-owned ambulance services, we are self-sustaining. Our funding comes primarily from insurance reimbursements, patient co-pays and self-payments, along with one annual donation from the town we cover. We handle approximately 1,900–2,300 calls each year, ranging from emergency responses and local transports to long-distance transfers.
Our service is staffed by a dedicated team of 7 Basic EMTs, 1 Advanced EMT, 1 Paramedic, and 5 drivers, operating around the clock. We are licensed at the Basic Life Support level and permitted to provide Paramedic-level care.
We Need Your Help
In June, we were fortunate enough to purchase a 2023 ambulance with only 668 miles on it. We traveled all the way to North Carolina to purchase this ambulance because finding an affordable, low-mileage replacement was already a challenge for our small service.
Unfortunately, that ambulance was recently involved in an accident that was not our fault, and it has been deemed a total loss.
This has left us with a significant financial setback and an empty spot in our fleet.
A new, boxed ambulance can cost approximately $200,000–$400,000, which is far beyond what our current budget can manage. One of our remaining ambulance is a 2012, so replacing the totaled unit is important not only for maintaining our current 24/7 operations, but also for planning ahead for the future of our service.
We are asking our community, surrounding communities, businesses, organizations, and anyone who believes in supporting local emergency medical services to consider making a donation toward the purchase of another ambulance.
Every contribution, regardless of size, brings us one step closer to putting another reliable ambulance in service.
If you are able and willing to contribute, we would be incredibly grateful. Your support will help us continue answering the call when our community needs us most. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who has supported G&H Ambulance Service over the years. We truly could not do this without our community.
