Shared Strength Through Partnership
Since its inception, QVAA has operated under a joint agreement with Valley Ambulance Authority, creating a stronger, more efficient EMS system for all communities we serve.
Shared Facilities
Both organizations are co-located at 3550 University Blvd, Moon Township, PA (between the Sewickley Bridge and Coraopolis).
Collaborative Staffing
We share personnel and operations with VAA, ensuring optimal coverage and rapid response across all service areas.
Cost Efficiency
By sharing administrative resources and operational expenses, we reduce costs while maintaining the highest quality of care.
QVAA Fleet
QVAA maintains a modern, fully integrated fleet operated in partnership with Valley Ambulance Authority to ensure broad coverage and rapid response.
Our Ambulances in the Community
QVAA ambulances are a familiar sight throughout the Quaker Valley region, responding to emergencies and providing non-emergency medical transport to our residents.
Our units are distinctively marked with the QVAA logo and equipped with the same advanced life support equipment as all VAA ambulances, ensuring consistent, high-quality care across our entire service area.
