Knowing life matters. Since 1971, Acadian has been committed to providing the highest level of medical care and transportation possible.
Acadian comprises eight divisions - Acadian Ambulance Service, Acadian Air Med, Acadian Total Security, National EMS Academy, Executive Air Charter, Safety Management Systems, Acadian Health and Acadian Federal Resources - and has a variety of support departments. As our services continue to expand and improve, our underlying dedication to serving others remains the driving force behind our operations. In 1993, Acadian instituted an employee stock ownership program. The program greatly enhances employee benefits because, as employee-owners, we all share in the future and success of the company as we continue to save lives every day. As an employee-owned company, our employees are dedicated and passionate about providing our customers with superior service. Whether it is a routine trip to the doctor, an unexpected accident or a natural disaster, you can rely on us to provide you with the care and dignity you deserve. We know life matters, and to us, your life matters most.

Today kicks off American Heart Month, underscoring the importance of cardiovascular health.
Every year, over 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside of a hospital, with most happening at home. Sadly, only 10% survive. By giving someone CPR you can double or even triple their chances of survival. Be ready when it matters most. Learn CPR and become part of the Nation of Lifesavers™.
General ways to practice heart health:
❤️Get enough quality sleep
❤️Eat better
❤️Maintain a healthy weight
❤️Be more active
❤️Stop smoking
❤️Control cholesterol
❤️Manage blood sugar
❤️Manage stress
❤️Control blood pressure
❤️Practice self-care and find social support
