Emergycare
EmergyCare's mission is to save lives an positively impact the health, well-being, and safety of the communities we serve. EmergyCare was founded in 1983 as a non-profit ambulance service for the city of Erie, Pennsylvania. Originally, the service had support from UPMC Hamot medical center and Saint Vincent Health Center, both in Erie. Today, it is an independent non profit organization. EmergyCare has gone from providing basic life support (BLS) services to the City of Erie in 1983 to providing advanced life support (ALS) care to a vast region of northwestern Pennsylvania today. EmergyCare is one of the largest non-profit ambulance services in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, covering more than 2,100 square miles and protecting approximately 300,000 lives. EmergyCare has been recognized for its excellence by the PA Emergency Health Service Council (PEHSC), the American Ambulance Association (AAA), PA Ambulance Association and American Heart Association. EmergyCare currently has divisions in Erie, Corry,  Titusville, Warren and Kane. Services provided

They have a medical taxi service which provides ambulatory patients with transportation to and from doctors appointments. They also provide wheelchair transportation. EmergyCare also provides non-emergency ambulance transportation. This service is used for patients who are non-ambulatory and are unable to tolerate a wheelchair, or who may need other types of monitoring, both basic and advanced.
