Your Patient. Our Priority. Every Transport.

West Coast Ambulance is an independent medical transportation provider covering every city in Los Angeles, Orange, and Kern Counties. We operate across the full spectrum — from non-emergency medical transport (wheelchair, stretcher, dialysis) to BLS and critical care ambulance services — all under one roof, with one number to call.

We don't outsource rides. We don't rely on gig drivers. Every transport is handled by our own employed clinical crews — dispatched from our own fleet and accountable from pickup to drop-off.

We Exist to Make Medical Transport Reliable Enough to Depend On.

West Coast Ambulance was built to solve one problem: hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and health systems in California need a medical transport partner that actually shows up. Not a vendor that cancels, runs gig drivers, or loses track of patients mid-route.

We employ our own clinical crews — EMTs, nurses, and respiratory therapists — run our own certified dispatch center, and hold every transport to a single Medical Director's protocols. From routine wheelchair transport to ventilator-dependent critical care, every patient is staffed, dispatched, tracked, and accounted for.

We measure our performance by one standard: whether every patient we accept arrives safely and on time, with the right crew. That's what we built this company around.

Employed Crews Only
Every EMT, RN, RT, and driver is on our payroll — not sourced through a staffing agency or gig platform.
0% No-Show Rate
We accept the transport, we complete it. No last-minute cancellations, no unfilled runs.
Medical Director Oversight
All clinical operations run under one MD's protocols — not a patchwork of contractor guidelines.
