Military-Friendly
As a military-friendly organization, American Ambulance Service, Inc. (AASI) actively recruits veterans to join our team. Quick decision making, problem solving, and teamwork make our team members successful, and we know veterans share many of these attributes and values.
Veterans are also pretty familiar with life saving techniques. Whether it’s transporting or working under adverse conditions, the military requires great organizational planning and execution to keep running. This knowledge and experience, combined with our comprehensive industry training and mentorship, allows veterans to excel at AASI.
