Cataldo Ambulance
About
Cataldo Ambulance is a Greater Boston ambulance and emergency medical services company listed in Somerville. Its staff includes paramedics, EMTs, 911 dispatchers and fleet maintenance crews, and the company provides contracted emergency medical services to communities in the region. Beyond standard ambulance response, it runs SmartCare, a program in which specially trained EMTs and paramedics assess patients and work with medical oversight to decide whether treatment can safely happen on site.
SmartCare clinicians see patients in private homes, skilled and long-term nursing facilities and assisted living settings, with the goal of preventing unnecessary emergency room trips. The company also operates the Cataldo Education Center, which moved to Woburn in 2024 and offers training for every step of an EMS career, including a paramedic program. In 2023 the center hosted more than 700 classes and taught over 3,100 students.
