In 1886 the company was one of the first physicians’ exchanges and nurses’ registries in San Francisco. By 1906, King Ambulance emerged with the company’s earliest affiliation with Hahnemann Hospital, a homeopathic institution built in San Francisco in 1884.

Headquartered in a beautifully renovated Victorian (circa 1886) on Bush Street in the center of the City since its beginning, King Ambulance grew and in 1954 merged with American Ambulance. King-American Ambulance Company has established itself as the longest operating private ambulance company in San Francisco and on the West Coast.
