American Medical Response, Inc. (AMR) is a medical transportation company in the United States that provides and manages community-based medical transportation services, including emergency (911), non-emergency and managed transportation, rotary and fixed-wing air ambulance services, and disaster response.

Corporate history

The company was founded in 1991 through the merger of Regional Ambulance (Alameda and Contra Costa counties, CA), Vanguard Ambulance (Santa Clara County, CA), and Buck Ambulance (Portland, OR). It was subsequently acquired Laidlaw, [1] and sold to Onex in 2004.[2] With this acquisition, Onex formed Emergency Medical Services Corporation (EMSC) by merging AMR with EmCare. [3] In 2011, EMSC was acquired by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice.[4]

On June 12, 2013, EMSC changed names to Envision Healthcare Corporation.[5]

On September 8, 2017, Envision Healthcare Corp. announced that American Medical Response would be sold to KKR & Co. LP in an all-cash deal worth US$2.4 billion.[6]

In March 2018, American Medical Response became a subsidiary of Global Medical Response.
