EasCare Company History

On April 27, 1998, EasCare Ambulance Service launched operations in a small garage in south Boston with three ambulances and 18 employees. Over the course of 14 years, EasCare went on to establish itself as one of the Commonwealth’s largest emergency medical transportation provider with over 100 ambulances and 350 employees. In October 2012, EasCare was the first ambulance company in the Commonwealth permitted to deploy a community paramedicine program to treat patients in their homes.

Eascare was sold to Medevie EMS of Nova Scotia in 2012, and over time EasCare grew to employ over 550 employees with 160 vehicles serving the greater Boston area, the central and south coast regions of Massachusetts. On December 9th, 2016, EasCare was acquired by Brewster Ambulance Service.
