What's going on with Care ambulance in Socal? It seems that after Falck bought them I haven't heard too much about aggressive expansion. Looking at the big picture though, they are somewhat limited. They can't try to grab very much new territory in LA county since a majority of the contracts aren't up until 2016, not counting renewal options.
Orange county is a mixed bag in itself. Which leads us to RIVERSIDE and SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES. Both of those contracts will be up very soon and it would be interesting to see if Care finally gets paramedics on board to present a bid for those counties since they are run EMT/MEDIC.
I wonder if the purchase of Mccormick falling through affected their original plans of expansion in the Socal market. What are they up to?
I highly doubt AMR will loose Riverside and San Bernardino. They are the 2 biggest revenue contracts they have. I have seen CARE try and market here in Riverside City but they can't even pick up so its pointless. No One can pick up in the city other than AMR. They can get their name out but its going to be 2-3 yrs before anything happens so they can just keep marketing.
Care tried to take over a NAPA county contract but lost miserably because they have never had an ALS system. They had life star in Alabama ALS for 5yrs but that it and was long ago.
