ProTransport-1 is the premier provider of comprehensive medical transport services in the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Valley and Sacramento
HISTORY
Founded in 2000 by President Elena Whorton and CEO Mike Sechrist, ProTransport-1 has quickly emerged as Northern and Central California’s premier medical transport provider. What started as a company operating one used van out of a backyard granny
unit has grown to encompass an area of 22 counties served by 500-plus employees and more than 120 vehicles out of 11 stations. With growth projections trending upward, ProTransport-1 is well on its way to the top of the EMS industry. Following two decades serving the community as paramedics, Mike and Elena had a vision to create a sustainable ambulance company which cast aside time-worn conventions of the EMS industry in favor of customer-friendly transport service. Leveraging their experience as caregivers, the co-founders formulated an innovative approach to patient care and transport that accommodates patient needs above all else, while also utilizing the latest tools to comprehensively maximize efficiency. Through ingenuity and persistence, ProTransport-1 has evolved from a humble, two-person operation to a burgeoning industry leader operating on the cutting edge. The intimate knowledge of the medical transport market from which the company sprang offered innumerable insights into the EMS industry, chief among them the neglectful nature of ambulance companies toward patients needing interfacility transports. With a simple, patient-friendly vision and a modest budget, ProTransport-1 has grown to become an unparalleled provider of interfacility transports and mobile care.
