Salt Lake City—Gold Cross Ambulance, a leader in emergency response services in Utah, has received national accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS). 

Gold Cross Ambulance received a perfect score during the process thus demonstrating its high commitment and devotion to patient care and safety. This accreditation places Gold Cross Ambulance Service in the top 1% of ambulance services in the country. 

The ambulance provider serves Salt Lake, St George, Uintah, Utah, Washington, and Iron counties. Gold Cross is the only ambulance provider in the state to achieve the national distinction. 

The process of accreditation includes a comprehensive self-assessment over several months and an independent outside review of the entire operation. Once achieved, the three-year accreditation is considered a “gold standard” among modern emergency medical service providers and often exceeds the standards established by state or local regulations. 

“We are extremely gratified by this national recognition by this esteemed organization in the ambulance industry,” said Mike Moffitt, President of Gold Cross Services. “This accreditation reaffirms our commitment to continue delivering high-quality patient care while maintaining our valued relationships with other EMS agencies and the medical community.” 

Now in its 56th Year, Gold Cross Ambulance provides basic life support, paramedic, critical care, neonatal, bariatric, event management standby, mass casualty care, and 911 services. With a fleet of specially equipped emergency vehicles and a state-of-the-art communications center, Gold Cross Ambulance is uniquely positioned to provide a comprehensive medical response to any emergency situation. 

The Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) was formed in 1990 as a not-for-profit agency to be a standard bearer for medical transportation systems. It is sponsored by the American Ambulance Association, the American College of Emergency Physicians, the National Association of EMS Physicians, the National Association of State EMS Officials, the National Association of EMTs, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs, with liaison representation from The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
