LEWISTON — United Ambulance Service recently received a perfect score in its reaccreditation review by the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services.
The accreditation review, like the process used by hospitals and nursing facilities, is conducted every three years and includes an intensive application process and multiday onsite inspection by outside experts. Reviewers from across the nation visited the company’s Lewiston and Bridgton service areas, evaluating 107 categories.
United Ambulance has provided emergency medical care and transportation since 1981.
United Ambulance’s Lewiston division was first accredited in 2006 and its Bridgton division in 2007. Since then, they have remained Maine’s first and only accredited ambulance service.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
