LOS ANGELES — LifeLine Ambulance Service, also LifeLine-EMS, has announced the acquisition of Liberty Ambulance Service, expanding its operations in the Los Angeles and Orange Counties communities.
The integration of the two services will result in a stronger and broader network of ambulances, highly trained EMS professionals, and cutting-edge technology, LifeLine Ambulance stated in a press release.
This enhanced framework will enable LifeLine-EMS to respond to developing needs more efficiently and effectively, delivering prompt and high-quality care, the release noted.
“We are thrilled to welcome Liberty Ambulance Service personnel to the LifeLine-EMS family,” LifeLine-EMS CEO Maxim Gorin said. “This acquisition aligns seamlessly with our mission to provide the highest level of care and responsiveness to those in need. By combining our strengths, we are confident that we can continue to set the standard for Emergency Medical Services in Southern California.”
The release ensured Liberty Ambulance Service contracted clients can expect a smooth transition with no disruption to their current service.
LifeLine-EMS also announced a new 5-year contract with Kaiser Permanente in Orange County. As the primary medical transportation provider, LifeLine-EMS has solidified a Participating Plan Agreement with Kaiser Health Foundation.
“The previous year was momentous for LifeLine-EMS, and we anticipate 2024 to surpass even those achievements. The first week of January marks the start of four substantial initiatives, with many more on the horizon,” Chief Operating Officer Danielle Thomas said. “We are overjoyed to have a dedicated team of compassionate individuals making a positive impact locally and beyond.”
