City of Melrose Continues with Cataldo Ambulance for Additional Three Years

It brings us great pleasure to announce that the City of Melrose has once again chosen Cataldo Ambulance Service as their 911 provider of emergency ambulance services. The term of the contract began on September 1, 2010 for a three year period.

The City chose to award a new three year contract to Cataldo Ambulance Service after a formal bid process. A key factor in choosing Cataldo Ambulance Service was due to the support of the Melrose Fire Department, "I take very seriously the opinion of the guys who are on the front lines in these emergency situations," Mayor Robert Dolan stated in a recent press release.

In July of 2008, the City chose Cataldo Ambulance to provide emergency medical services based on the company's exceptional reputation, financial stability and experience in providing frontline EMS services. Since then we have made a lot of progress in elevating the level of care within the community, says Dennis Cataldo, Vice President. We were able to introduce the ZOLL Autopulse technology, Nasal Narcan administration, Albuterol treatments and Intraosseous Medication administration (EZ-IO) to name a few. "Cataldo not only has a strong presence in the city but their emergency response time far exceeds that of the national average. The equipment that is standard to their operations is above what is considered normal standards of care," stated Dolan.

Cataldo Ambulance Service remains one of the most respected family owned providers of medical transportation in the Northeast. The City of Melrose is one of twelve communities in the Greater Boston and North Shore areas that Cataldo delivers primary emergency services to on a daily basis.
