How do you start a private ambulance service in the state of Virginia?

Question

It would be a Christian service focused mainly on routine transports. Not necessarily a public service(i. emergency calls) but a second due for many of the surrounding precincts so I know that we would be certified to run emergency calls. The person that is doing this has the money to establish the service (i.e he knows it is going to be an expensive venture but money really is no option!)

Answer 1

To operate an ambulance service, an individual or group must be licensed by the state.  To become licensed requires an application to the state department of health.  The individual must also demonstrate that the need is not currently being met by another agency or group.  GL
