San Luis Ambulance named ‘Small Business of the Year’ by assemblyman
San Luis Ambulance has provided 70 years of service to San Luis Obispo County
– In conjunction with California Small Business Day, Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian last week honored San Luis Ambulance, a San Luis Obispo based ambulance provider, as the 35th Assembly District 2015 Small Business of the Year.
“San Luis Ambulance is an integral part of providing safety services to our region,” said Achadjian. “Frank and Betsey Kelton and their staff have provided critical care ambulance transportation with the highest standard of excellence and are very well respected in the region. I am pleased to have this opportunity to honor them for their work and commitment to serving our community.”
First established in 1945 by Ken Jones, the company has been owned and operated by the Keltons since 1974. The company is centrally located in San Luis Obispo with eight crew stations throughout the county, ranging from Paso Robles to Nipomo. They employ highly trained paramedics and emergency medical technicians including their son, Justin, to whom they hope to pass along the family business one day.
“We are so honored to be recognized by Assemblyman Achadjian and the Small Business Association for all they do to support small businesses in our region,” said Frank Kelton. “We are grateful to be able to give back to the community as we continue to be guided by our philosophy of doing what is best for our patients.”
