A proud history of serving Tillamook County
Adventist Health Tillamook’s ambulance services have been part of the community since 1974, when the hospital purchased the ambulance operation from Waud’s Funeral Home. Since then, we’ve grown to meet the region’s changing needs:
- 1987: Expanded north by acquiring the Nehalem ambulance service
- 1989: Began operating Garibaldi’s service after the fire department stepped back
- 2005: Extended coverage south by purchasing the Pacific City service
Today, with four ambulance stations and crews ready around the clock, our legacy of dependable, compassionate care continues across Tillamook County.
