In Memory of Joe Paolella, Sr
The American Ambulance Association was deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of Joseph “Joe” Paolella, Sr.
Joe, along with his brother Phil Paolella, was the co-owner of New Haven Ambulance Service, one of the four companies that founded American Medical Response (AMR).
Joe was an innovator and pioneer in the field of pre-hospital care, and he will be deeply missed by the American Ambulance Association and it’s members throughout the United States. Joe devoted much of his career to advocating for legislation and regulations that paved the way in ensuring that the highest levels of patient care are delivered by ambulance providers in Connecticut and across our nation. Joe also selflessly mentored many ambulance leaders throughout their careers, giving many hours of his time to developing the talents of others.
Joe’s wife, Lorraine Paolella, and their entire family are in our thoughts.
