PETALUMA, Calif. — The American arm of Danish ambulance giant Falck, one of the largest ambulance companies in the world, has acquired Petaluma-based Verihealth Inc., an ambulance and medical transport company founded in 2000.

Terms of the deal, completed about a week ago, were not disclosed except that Verihealth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of privately held Falck USA, based in Seattle, according to CEO Boo Heffner.

“We’d been in discussions with Verihealth for about the last year and we very specifically targeted them as a great company,” Mr. Heffner told the Business Journal. “We’re very selective in who it is we acquire.”
