AMR in the San Diego Community  

The team at AMR San Diego has a single mission: making a difference by caring for people in need. They are caregivers, first and foremost.    

AMR San Diego employs approximately 700 caregivers and responds to more than 120,000 emergency medical transports annually. It is the only private advanced life support ambulance provider in San Diego County, accredited by the prestigious Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services — and has held that accreditation continuously since 1994.   

By designing new ways to deliver health care, whether in emergency situations or by supplementing home health care organizations, AMR San Diego is steadfastly patient-focused and customer-centered. Its commitment as a health care provider is twofold: to keep abreast of the latest medical procedures and practices for its patients and to help its customers meet their objectives by inventing technologies.
