Patients & Families
We're there when you need us, 24 hours a day
It's 2 a.m., and you or someone you care about requires sudden and unexpected medical assessment and treatment. Your doctor is out of the office, and few of the resources you would normally use are available at this time. You don't want to just go to the emergency room if you don't need to. But you do need someone to diagnose and care for your medical needs.
Our History
You can tell a lot about a company by looking at its roots.
Rural/Metro's history goes back more than 60 years, when founder Lou Witzeman became concerned that his neighborhood didn't have fire protection. So he pooled together some money, bought a fire truck, and asked his neighbors to subscribe to his fledgling company.
