On Nov. 17, Yale New Haven Health announced the closing of its transaction to acquire Nelson Ambulance and its affiliates – Access Ambulance Service, Connecticut Handivan and The Limo Group. Staff and media attended the integration celebration at Nelson’s North Haven facility on Quinnipiac Avenue.
“YNHHS is always looking for opportunities to grow and strengthen services to better meet the needs of the patients and communities we serve,” said Christopher O’Connor, CEO, YNHHS. “This will significantly expand our health system’s medical transport capabilities, creating a more seamless, integrated experience for our patients across the care continuum.”
This acquisition will expand access for Nelson’s existing patients to the full complement of resources available under the YNHHS umbrella, providing additional support to strengthen medical transport in the region. YNHHS will maintain emergency transport services currently offered by Nelson’s North Haven and Milford hubs and will continue collaborating with Nelson’s current partners to ensure uninterrupted care.
