Somerville, MA – July 5, 2016 - Cataldo Ambulance Service is pleased to announce the recent renewal of the exclusive contract with Atlantic Ambulance Service, a Division of Cataldo Ambulance Service to provide medical transportation services to Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport, MA. The term of the contract began on July 1, 2016 and will remain in effect for a period of three years.

Since that time, Atlantic Ambulance has assumed the responsibility of providing all frontline EMS ambulance services to each of the three communities. Atlantic Ambulance is pleased to continue to work in conjunction with Anna Jaques Hospital, as their Exclusive Medical Transportation provider.

Vice President, Dennis Cataldo stated, "Everyone at our company is thrilled to be continuing our relationship with the Anna Jaques Hospital. We truly enjoy the outstanding working relationship that exists between the many staff members of our organizations. Together we are dedicated to providing exceptional services to every patient we serve".

Cataldo Ambulance Service greatly values the hard work, dedication and compassionate care that is delivered by their employees to the patients and visitors of Anna Jaques Hospital.  

Anna Jaques Hospital

On May 7, 1884 the first patient was admitted to Anna Jaques Hospital. By 1901 the hospital's original building had become inadequate. Plans began to take shape and three years later in 1904 the Georgian Revival building that stands to this day was opened at 25 Highland Avenue in Newburyport. That "new" hospital remains the centerpiece, and proud historic front, of Anna Jaques Hospital today. Although many hospital expansions, and an attractive neighborhood, have grown up around the hospital, the original building stands as a testament to one woman's, and one physician's, commitment to the community and its needs.

Cataldo Ambulance Service

Cataldo Ambulance Service, and Atlantic Ambulance Service(a division of Cataldo Ambulance Service), currently provide 911 responses for 16 municipalities, hospitals and numerous private contracts from 19 base locations throughout Massachusetts covering Greater Boston and the North Shore.  They are also a leading private provider of Emergency Medical Transportation in the Commonwealth.  The Atlantic Ambulance Service Division is the primary entity that responds to communities in the northern most region of the Cataldo Ambulance Service operating area.
