Requests for Donation

Aetna Ambulance Service does not accept donations of any kind. If you were inclined to donate to us we would be honored if instead, you donated to your favorite charity in our name. But a thank you card or note to the ambulance crew goes further than you’d think.

Aetna Ambulance Service believes in a social responsibility to the communities in which our employees, customers, and their families live and work. We are therefore committed to playing an active role, in cooperation with other community-minded organizations and individuals, in furthering the wellbeing of our community.

The company will consider requests to provide financial contributions, volunteer work, or services. This combination of support is intended to ensure that Aetna Ambulance Service will remain an integral member of the communities in which our livelihood depends.

We have established guidelines to follow when considering eligible organizations. We favor organizations that advocate in the interests of healthcare, and that is focused on our trade area of greater Hartford and north-central Connecticut.
