Yale New Haven Health purchases local ambulatory service

Nelson Ambulance Service and its affiliates are located at 208 Quinnipiac Ave.

NORTH HAVEN — Yale New Haven Health System celebrated its purchase of Nelson Ambulatory Service and its affiliates at 208 Quinnipiac Ave. at 2:30 p.m. today.

“Knowing the critical nature of our prehospital connections as well as intrahospital work, this has been a missing component of our health system I think for some time,” said Chris O’ Connor, CEO of YNHHS. “Now we can begin to both leverage and enhance what we can offer to our patients.”

This acquisition will expand access for Nelson’s existing patients to the full complement of resources available under the YNHHS umbrella, providing additional support to strengthen medical transport in the region.

Planning between the parties started in January.

“Meeting with various management and staff has been a great experience," said Saleem Khan, President and CEO of Nelson Ambulance Service. "The dedicated staff and resources now available through Yale to the medical ambulance transport division will take these companies well beyond the next level."

Khan shared that his family has been in the healthcare field since 1982 and that he purchased Nelson Ambulatory Service in 1999.

“I always had a saying when we were at 500 employees that there wasn’t anything we couldn’t solve or achieve. With Yale behind us, there should never be a question,” he said.

North Haven First Selectman Mike Freda was also present. 

“Here we are now 15 years later and we see how important the YNHHS is not only to the greater New Haven area, but the town of North haven and surrounding communities,” he said.

He couldn’t wait to devour the next set of "The Hardy Boys" books and lucky for him, he lived less than a mile away. “I didn't read 'The Hardy Boys,' I became the third brother. I lived them, I loved it,” he said. On the way home, he’d read one book while he carried the rest of the haul stuffed into his shirt. He was so absorbed in the story that he'd sometimes step off a curve, run into a tree or walk two blocks past his house without even realizing. Now, 74, he owns a bookstore of his own called Always Buying Books , in Joplin, the birthplace of Harlem Renaissance writer Langston Hughes.
