Ambulance Service
American Legion Ambulance Service is looking for self-motivated individuals with a strong desire to serve their community. American Legion Ambulance has a long tradition of service to our community since 1929.
Our purpose is to develop our team members through a culture of education, recognition and opportunity. We promote leadership by recognizing individuals from within our agency that embody our mission to provide the highest quality care to our community. We sponsor our EMTs through medic programs of their choosing and provide internships and scheduling support to ensure their success. Our paramedics and EMTs have opportunities to grow into field training officers. Our paramedics have opportunities to excel in alternate supervisor and lead shift supervisor roles. Being part of a smaller organization means you are not just an employee number, but you are valued as an individual.
