Paramedic Systems was incorporated in the State of Rhode
Island in 1986. In February of 1989 PSI purchased Alert
Ambulance Service, of Fairhaven, Massachusetts. Alert was a
small company of four vehicles, and twelve employees. During
the past sixteen years Alert Ambulance Service has grown to
include a corporate headquarters located in Fall River,
Massachusetts and ten satellite locations across
Massachusetts and Rhode Island. |

The
Fall River location was opened in 1989, and began
providing 24-hour seven day a week coverage to Rhode
Island and Massachusetts. This location provides
both advanced and basic life support ambulance
transportation. In 1991, Alert purchased its first
wheel chair van, and the Alert Chair Car Division
was created. Also in 1991, John Moss became the sole
owner and president of Alert/PSI. In 1992, a
location was opened in Cranston, R.I. with a
Wakefield, RI location following in 1995. The
additional acquisition of Ocean State Ambulance in
1995 allowed Alert Ambulance to provide the South
County area of Rhode Island with 24-hour advanced
life support coverage. The purchase of Medi-Coach
wheel chair van service in 1997 allowed for expanded
chair-car service in the southeastern Massachusetts
area. |

In the spring of 2000 Alert was awarded the contract
to provide ambulance transportation service to the
Boston area Veteran Hospital. The advent of these
contracts allowed Alert to expand into the greater
Boston area, where in 2004 Alert opened it's 10,000
square foot facility in Hyde Park Massachusetts.
Alert made its largest purchase to date in December
of 2005, acquiring Pathways Ambulance Service Ltd.
Pathways was located in Central and Western
Massachusetts. Included in the purchase were
numerous contracts with municipalities to provide
911 and 911 backup services. With the purchase of
Pathways, Alert Ambulance's service area includes
all of Rhode Island and 10 out of 14 counties in
Massachusetts.

In May 2008 Alert became the preferred
provider for Roger Williams Medical Center
in Providence RI. Alert grew in
Massachusetts with expanded territories for
our Veteran Hospital contract. In late 2008,
Milford Whitinsville Regional Hospital
stopped its paramedic intercept service,
Alert responded by increasing its resources
in the area. Alert has signed numerous
backup/intercept agreements with the area
municipalities and was awarded a contract
with Milford Whitinsville Regional Hospital.
Alert continues to grow in Massachusetts
and is expanding each year. Alert together
with its employees strive to provide the
best care possible for our patients.
