Your neighbors for over half a century
Acadian Ambulance began operations in South Louisiana more than 50 years ago. In 2000, we expanded to Mississippi when we became the 911 provider in Jackson County, and we began operations in Desoto County as part of our Memphis operations in 2022.
Our Mississippi team members have continually worked hard to raise the standard of medical care and transportation.
We have established lifelong and strong relationships with local hospitals, medical personnel and community leaders.
We don’t have employees.
we have owners!
In 1993, Acadian instituted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), giving eligible employees the opportunity to own private shares in the company. Through this structure, employees own the company, giving us a sense of pride and a stronger investment in our work.
Acadian sets up a trust fund for qualifying employees and contributes new shares of its own stock or cash to buy existing shares. Acadian employees currently own 80% of the company stock.
Our Benefits
What We Stand for
Acadian employees have a great deal of pride in their jobs and see every day as an opportunity to make a difference. Our passion and compassion guide our actions as we treat more than just the injury or ailment, but the person as a whole. Our innovation and use of new technology help us to improve our services and care for our customers.
Acadian Ambulance Service

Acadian began as a small ambulance company in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana on September 1, 1971. Since then, we have expanded to include a nationally recognized diverse suite of services designed to offer the very best support in health, safety and transportation. Our fleet now contains more than 650 ground ambulances, helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes in 74 parishes and counties spanning Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.
In addition to providing emergency and non-emergency pre-hospital care and transport, we provide EMS education, industrial health, environmental and safety services, inspection, training, consulting, dynamic security equipment and monitoring for homes and businesses and charter flight services.
