>In 1991 Paul Verrochi created a business plan to consolidate the fragmented ambulance industry, following a similar "rollup" strategy used by Waste Management. The company was formed with the merger of Regional Ambulance (Alameda and Contra Costa counties, Ca), Vanguard Ambulance (Santa Clara County Ca), and Buck Ambulance (Portland Or.) Laidlaw acquired American Medical Response in 1997. In 2004, Laidlaw sold EmCare and American Medical Response to Onex.

On June 12, 2013, EMSC changed names to Envision Healthcare Corporation. EmCare, Inc. and Evolution Health also are part of Envision Healthcare Corporation.
