Our Commitment to Excellence...  
                                    
                                        Our commitment to our COMMUNITY!

In 1995, Alamo voluntarily undertook an endeavor to become nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services.  

In June 1996, Alamo became the 51st ambulance service in the country to successfully complete this voluntary review process which included completion of a comprehensive application and on-site review by national experts in emergency medical services (EMS).  With this achievement, Alamo became the fourth ambulance service to be accredited in New York and the first not-for-profit ambulance service to be accredited in the northeastern United States.

The Commission is a non-profit organization which was established to encourage and promote quality patient care in America's medical transportation system.   The primary focus of the Commission's standards is high-quality patient care.  This is accomplished by establishing national standards which not only address the delivery of patient care, but also the ambulance service's total operation and its relationships with other agencies, the general public and the medical community.

Accreditation represents our firm commitment to our patients and community.  We continuously strive to do our best and we viewed accreditation as another step toward excellence.

Our staff has been the key to our successful completion of the process.  We think it gives everyone a feeling of prestige and pride to work in an accredited ambulance service.  The achievement of accreditation serves as a stimulus for continued improvement.
