Emergency Ground Transport - Gold Cross

Gold Cross, an advanced life support ground ambulance, provides high-quality emergency medical care at the scene of traumatic or medical emergencies and during transport to and between medical facilities. Gold Cross responds to more than 50,000 emergency calls each year.

At emergency scenes, Gold Cross works side-by-side with first responder agencies, including fire departments, law enforcement agencies, and rescue squads, as well as other ambulance services which often are first on the scene. Behind the scenes, Gold Cross works with these organizations by providing ongoing training to help ensure integrated teamwork, which results in excellent patient care. Gold Cross also provides consultation for organizations in areas of training, system design, compliance and licensing (see Management Support Services).

Gold Cross focuses on "Taking Care of People," through the delivery of emergency care as well as advanced life support interfacility, critical care transports.

Gold Cross works closely with medical facilities throughout the areas served by Gold Cross to assure critical care transport options are available to our patients.

Gold Cross Plus is a critical-care ground ambulance service.
