American Medical Response, Inc. (AMR) is a medical transportation company in the United States.
American Medical Response was formed with the merger of Regional Ambulance (Alameda and Contra Costa counties, Ca), Vanguard Ambulance (Santa Clara County Ca), and Buck Ambulance (Portland Or.) Laidlaw acquired American Medical Response in 1997. In 2004, Laidlaw sold EmCare and American Medical Response to Onex. Onex formed Emergency Medical Services Corporation as the parent of its two acquisitions. EMSC went public in December of that year. In 2011, EMSC was acquired by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice. On June 12, 2013, EMSC changed names to Envision Healthcare Corporation. EmCare, Inc. and Evolution Health also are part of Envision Healthcare Corporation.
