Founder of Guardian Ambulance, Larry Smith, a Pasadena native who worked as a therapist at Huntington Memorial Hospital in the physical department, learned the value of stablishing a rapport with patients and their families and began to see a need for personalized service in the health care industry. Six years in this industry gave Larry the experience he needed to start his own ambulance service,
which he aptly named Guardian. The company, which started with one ambulance and two employees, was stablished around the belief that people should always get more than they expect, with the respect that they deserve. A distinctive emblem that resembles angel wings and the hand-crocheted green and white "granny blankets" stand as the company hallmarks that healthcare is more than a textbook medicine. The company, offering a variety of services over the last 40 years, has employed Emergency Medical Technicians, Paramedics, and Critical Care Nurses. Guardian responds to all areas in Los Angeles County. Guardian is fully license to operate with the County of Los Angeles including its home town Pasadena. We understand the importance of providing excellent service to our customers. This is an expectation we acknowledge and we remain committed to serving the people in our community.
