Divisions
Growth, Diversity and Commitment to Excellence
Acadian Companies
What began as a small ambulance company has expanded to include a diverse suite of services designed to offer the very best support and education in health, safety and transportation. Our company’s seven divisions — Acadian Ambulance Service, Acadian Air Med, Acadian Health, Executive Aircraft Charter Service, Acadian Total Security, National EMS Academy and Safety Management Systems — offer diverse career opportunities.
Acadian Ambulance Service
Knowing Life Matters Since 1971
Today, Acadian Ambulance provides compassionate and highly skilled medical care to more than 20 million residents and covers almost 62,000 square miles, in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. Our fleet of 500 ambulances transports 600,000 patients annually and travels 38 million miles each year, enough to circumnavigate the earth 4.2 times each day.
Acadian Total Security
Lifesaving Services Through Technology and Innovation
Acadian operates a network of three highly sophisticated, bi-directionally redundant call centers with highly trained dispatchers. Acadian’s security call centers are Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) 5-Diamond certified and UL Listed, setting a standard in the security monitoring industry.
Air Med Services
In Flight Since 1981
Because Louisiana’s diverse geography of rich swamps, bayous, marsh lands and vast rural areas make quick response by ground ambulances challenging, Acadian Ambulance launched Air Med in 1981. In addition to faster response times in rural areas, Air Med also allowed Acadian Ambulance to quickly reach emergencies offshore.
Executive Aircraft Charter Service
Fly Anywhere in North America, In Style
The availability of Air Med’s fixed-wing fleet when aircraft weren’t being used for medical flights prompted the creation of Executive Aircraft Charter Service. The aircraft’s interior can be easily reconfigured for passenger flights, making it possible for Executive Aircraft Charter Service to provide business and leisure flights throughout the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America.
National EMS Academy
Making a Difference
NEMSA now trains at nine different sites throughout Louisiana and Texas. NEMSA is now fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs, and collaborates with South Louisiana Community College and Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service to educate EMTs and paramedics for agencies throughout the United States.
Acadian Health
Your Partner in At-Home Healthcare
Acadian Health was founded to deliver on the last mile of healthcare by bridging the gap between patient and provider, offering the highest-quality at-home healthcare. With five decades of mobile healthcare experience through our ambulance division, the Acadian Health mobile community healthcare team members arrive at a patient’s location with the knowledge, skill, and equipment to act as our partners’ eyes, ears, and hands.
Safety Management Systems
Protecting Lives & Changing Cultures… Worldwide
Over the past 30 years, Acadian expanded their oil & gas medical services and founded Safety Management Systems (SMS). As the oil & gas industry evolves and changes, SMS has continually added services to answer their needs. Today, SMS provides safety, medical, security, health and training services to customers around the world.
