Why work for Acadian

Founded in 1971, Acadian Companies is an employee-owned, multi-faceted company with six divisions, a global reach and a mission of improving the lives of our patients, customers and employees through our innovative spirit and diverse divisions. Acadian has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s most respected and largest privately held medical transportation companies.

In an area known for a family-centric culture with strong communities and hard workers, Acadian Ambulance grew out of our community’s need for emergency medical support and care. Commitment to our community, along with our love of the people within it, guided us in the beginning and is our driving force today. Even with our expansive growth across multiple states, this mindset continues to be the foundation of our organization. We are proud to care for our family, friends, and neighbors.

In 1993, Acadian instituted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), giving employees the opportunity to own private stock in the company. Acadian sets up a trust fund for qualifying employees and contributes new shares of its own stock or cash to buy existing shares. Acadian employees currently own 80% of the company stock.

Through this structure, employees own the company, giving them a sense of pride and a stronger investment in their work. Acadian employee-owners see every day as an opportunity to make a difference.
