Welcome to the Acadian Family!
Our Benefits for You and Your Family
You’re Not an Employee — You’re an Owner!
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 100% of the company stock.
In addition, Acadian offers an exceptional benefits package.

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 580 ground ambulances, helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes in 77 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.
