Royal Ambulance has officially launched full-time Advanced Life Support (ALS) emergency medical services in Gerlach, Nevada.
The move means Royal is now providing 911 coverage across more than 1,000 square miles of remote northern Nevada.
The dedicated EMS unit began service in early July and operates 24/7 with a two-person crew of licensed EMS professionals. The launch expands access to emergency medical care in one of the most underserved areas in the state.
The contract was awarded following a proposal process and formally approved by the Washoe County Commission in June. Gerlach represents Royal’s first permanent EMS operation outside California.
“This is not just about filling a service gap,” said JohnRey Hassan, Chief Administrative Officer & In-House Counsel. “It is about building lasting infrastructure for quality care, grounded in partnership, trust, and a deep respect for the community we serve.”
Royal Ambulance will continue working closely with regional public safety agencies, the community, and local partners to support the long-term sustainability of emergency medical response in the area.
The focus remains on reliability, responsiveness, and community-centered care.
