Knowing life matters. Since 1971, Acadian has been committed to providing the highest level of medical care and transportation possible.
Acadian comprises eight divisions - Acadian Ambulance Service, Acadian Air Med, Acadian Total Security, National EMS Academy, Executive Air Charter, Safety Management Systems, Acadian Health and Acadian Federal Resources - and has a variety of support departments. As our services continue to expand and improve, our underlying dedication to serving others remains the driving force behind our operations. In 1993, Acadian instituted an employee stock ownership program. The program greatly enhances employee benefits because, as employee-owners, we all share in the future and success of the company as we continue to save lives every day. As an employee-owned company, our employees are dedicated and passionate about providing our customers with superior service. Whether it is a routine trip to the doctor, an unexpected accident or a natural disaster, you can rely on us to provide you with the care and dignity you deserve. We know life matters, and to us, your life matters most.

Happy ! We are proud to call Louisiana our home state, and we are honored to be an integral part of the community in the 37 parishes we serve.
The Cajun culture—with its emphasis on family, service, hard work, faith, loyalty and caring—created a solid foundation upon which we built Acadian Companies. As we have expanded into other areas and other states, that foundation of caring, compassion and dedication is ingrained in everything we do.

It's National Fire Prevention Week! We encourage families to take simple, lifesaving steps to protect their homes and loved ones from fire hazards. 🔥
Test your smoke alarms, update batteries, and practice a home escape plan with your family.
This year’s National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) theme, “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” highlights safe use and disposal of rechargeable batteries. Use certified products, unplug devices once fully charged, and recycle batteries properly—never throw them in the trash.
