Cataldo Ambulance Service and Atlantic Ambulance Service (a division of Cataldo Ambulance Service) provide dedicated ambulance (EMS) services to sixteen communities throughout the Greater Boston and North Shore areas in the U.S. Commonwealth of Massachusetts. They serve the following communities: Chelsea, Everett, Lynn, Malden, Marblehead, Newburyport, Newton, Peabody, Revere, Salem, Salisbury, Somerville, Swampscott, Waltham, Wellesley, and West Newbury. With base locations throughout all of their 911 communities, Cataldo and Atlantic Ambulance have a wide service area dedicating emergency services, primary backup services, as well as medical transportation to a number of nursing homes, hospitals and other medical facilities throughout the Greater Boston and North Shore areas.

Company divisions

Cataldo Ambulance operates with three divisions, each with their respective dispatch/operations centers, but single administrative center.

Somerville division

The Somerville division, the company's original region, handles emergency and non-emergency services to multiple cities in the northern Metro Boston area. The company's main administrative departments (including billing and accounts payable) operate out of the Somerville division. The Somerville division's operations center was originally located in Somerville, hence the name, but has recently moved to Malden. See Company History, which houses human resources, clinical services, education, Information Technology and corporate offices. The division is referred to as the "Somerville division" however the operations center is called "Malden Operations."

Boston division

The Boston division handles 911 emergencies for the Cities of Newton, Waltham, and Wellesley as well as many contracts in Boston and surrounding areas. Their most notable contracts are with: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center, Children's Hospital Boston (CHB), Partners HealthCare, TD Garden, and Fenway Park. The BIDMC, in 2007, sponsored two branded ambulances, via donations, to Cataldo Ambulance for the sole use of interfacility transport.[1] The Boston division also handles backup (along with other private companies) to Boston EMS for 911 response to the City of Bosto. Primary 911 ambulance service in Newton, Waltham, and Wellesley.

Cataldo's Boston division operates primarily out a bases in Needham and Newton, Massachusetts, which houses an average of 12 ambulances, a field supervisor, and crew quarters. Additional vehicles are located at firehouses throughout the City of Newton, Wellesley, and a company owned building in Waltham to support those cities.

Atlantic division

In 2003, Atlantic Ambulance purchased North Shore Ambulance company. Atlantic then had the rights to all of Northshores' contracts. Atlantic uses a white yellow and blue logo and color-scheme on their ambulances. They have their own dispatch and field operations management, however administratively they fall under Cataldo Ambulance. They are referred to as Atlantic Ambulance Service, a division of Cataldo Ambulance. This Division services Lynn, Salem, Marblehead, Peabody, Newburyport, Salisbury, Swampscott, and West Newbury.

Company history

Cataldo was founded in 1977.


Starting July 1, 2008, Cataldo Ambulance acquired the 911 contract for the City of Melrose. This acquisition came after Melrose ended a 10-year contract with another private ambulance service, Action Ambulance. The contract between Cataldo Ambulance and the City of Melrose was signed for three years. Melrose Mayor Rob Dolan said, "Cataldo Ambulance is one of the largest ambulance service providers in the area...The proposal offered the best combination of direct services to the citizens of Melrose and financial benefits to the City of Melrose, as well as countless training opportunities for our public safety employees. The entire package of services offered was superior.”[2] After a formal bid process in September 2010, the City of Melrose signed a three-year agreement with Cataldo Ambulance Service as the City's continued dedicated emergency medical services provider. "Cataldo not only has a strong presence in the city but their emergency response time far exceeds that of the national average. The equipment that is standard to their operations is above what is considered normal standards of care," stated Melrose Mayor Robert Dolan in a press release.

Cataldo's Atlantic Ambulance division also acquired an additional 911 contract in July 2008. The City of Peabody ended a near decade-long contract with Northshore Ambulance by awarding Atlantic Ambulance, a division of Cataldo Ambulance, with the city's EMS coverage.[3] Several months thereafter on December 15, 2008, Atlantic Ambulance, a division of Cataldo Ambulance, officially purchased Northshore Ambulance company, thus acquiring the 911 contracts to the City of Salem, and the Town of Marblehead.[4] Officially, Atlantic's coverage of the Town of Marblehead began on November 21, 2008, and on December 1, 2008, began providing EMS services to the City of Salem.[5]

In September 2009, Cataldo Ambulance Service officially moved its main operations center from Somerville to Malden into a new state-of-the-art, combined operations and training center. The previous training center was located in Chelsea. The Somerville base is still utilized for administration and ambulance services.[6][7]

Beginning at the start of 2010, Cataldo Ambulance became the 911 EMS provider for the City of Newton. The Newton EMS operations are part of the Boston Division of Cataldo Ambulance. Former Newton Mayor David Cohen made this announcement several months prior to 2010, ending Newton's contract with American Medical Response (AMR).[8]

Communications

Cataldo and Atlantic's new VHF system went into effect around the beginning of December 2006. Communication protocols vary with each of Cataldo's contracted municipalities, however most of them rely on direct radio communication between the covering 911 unit and each area's "Fire Alarm" dispatcher. Every ambulance in the fleet has the capability of communicating with all three of Cataldo's dispatch centers (one for each division), including tactical operations channels, fire department dispatch centers for their entire coverage area, and C-Med (ambulance-to-hospital) communications for all of the Massachusetts EMS regions.

Community service and accolades

Cataldo Ambulance has a long reputation of making charitable donations to the communities that it serves. Be it in the form of tangible gifts or life-saving education, the goal is to ensure the highest quality of medical care and knowledge to all of the residents of their communities. Furthermore, Cataldo Ambulance regularly hosts and participates in fundraising events that benefit non-profit research organizations like the American Cancer Society.
