In 1897, over 120 years ago, John McGonigle started a livery service in New Castle, Pennsylvania. He provided carriage and hearse services to the community to transport the sick and the deceased. This was the beginning of the McGonigle family's commitment to ambulance transportation in Western Pennsylvania. In 1964, J. Bradley McGonigle II moved his family to Sharon and established what is now known as McGonigle Ambulance Service. He operated the ambulance company from that location transporting patients to the hospital in a hearse equipped with red lights.
Since those early years, McGonigle Ambulance Service has become a familiar name to those in need of emergency medical services. With a name that has become recognized as a leader within the EMS industry, McGonigle Ambulance Service provides emergency and non-emergency medical transportation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
McGonigle Ambulance continues to be a family owned and operated business serving both Mercer and Lawrence Counties. In order to meet the ever-growing demand for services, our company maintains a fleet of 12 fully equipped ambulances, 6 wheelchair vans, and 1 Advanced Life Support squad vehicle. In 2019, we provided ambulance and wheelchair van transportation to more than 24,000 patients. Each vehicle is also staffed by the most qualified and professional emergency medical technicians and paramedics.
