Chestnut Ridge-based Rockland Paramedic Services has announced the sale of its Rockland Mobile Care (RMC) division to Yonkers-based Empress Ambulance Service.
The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. RMC was launched in 1999 and provides ambulance transportation services with a fleet of 19 ambulances and a staff of over 100 EMTs and paramedics.
The deal does not impact Rockland Paramedic Services. Empress Ambulance Service is part of the PatientCare EMS Solutions family of companies that also encompasses operations in Florida, South Dakota and Texas.
“The board of directors and leadership team of RMC carefully considered the options for continuing to provide emergency and non-emergency ambulance services to individuals and healthcare facilities in Rockland, taking into account our dedicated staff, and we believe this is the best option for all involved,” said Tim Egan, executive director of Rockland Paramedic Services. “We are excited about what this means to both companies and the employees. Empress is committed to working together to make the transition as smooth as possible.”
