View company profile

What started in 1967 with a single station wagon ambulance in Magnolia, Arkansas, has evolved into one of the nation's most respected family-owned emergency medical service providers. James and Carol Pafford founded Pafford Medical Services with a commitment to their community, a legacy that has been passionately carried forward by their children—Jamie, Greg, and John. Over the decades, the company has expanded far beyond its humble beginnings, now operating a sophisticated fleet of over 200 ground ambulances, three medical helicopters, and four fixed-wing aircraft across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Today, Pafford Medical Services stands as a beacon of hope and reliability, employing over 1,700 dedicated professionals who respond to more than 350,000 calls annually. The organization has distinguished itself not only through its day-to-day emergency response but also through its heroic efforts during major disasters, such as Hurricanes Irma and Maria, where they established critical mobile integrated healthcare systems. Despite its massive growth, Pafford remains deeply rooted in its family values, treating every patient and team member with the same care and compassion that defined its first call more than half a century ago.
