Originally founded in 1906 as one of the first physicians’ exchanges and nurses’ registries in San Francisco, the company’s earliest affiliation was 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.

MISSION
“King-American’s mission is to provide the people of San Francisco with emergency and non-emergency transportation services meeting the highest professional standards of quality patient care. “
