Membership

The American Ambulance Association understands the business of caring for people.
AAA advocacy gives ambulance services a voice in public policy, protects their interests, and removes obstacles to growth so that they can better serve their communities. Our exclusive member resources help services do more with less, empowering them to stay focused on patient care.
