Equity Firm Buys Nebraska Ambulance Company

midwest-medairCOLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha-based private equity firm has bought a company that serves several Nebraska communities with ground and aerial ambulances and wheelchair vans.

Panorama Point Partners has acquired all of Columbus-based Platte County Ambulance Co., which also is known as Midwest Medical Transport. Terms were not disclosed.

Kim and Jill Wolfe founded Midwest Medical Transport in 1987 with one used ambulance they kept in a Columbus storage unit. They’ve since grown to 13 ground ambulance locations and two bases for its helicopter service.

Fifty-seven-year-old Kim Wolfe says he wants to retire and enjoy life. His wife, Jill Wolfe, says, “It’s time to move on.”

General manager Jeff Shullaw has worked for the Wolfes for 15 years, and he’s taking over as chief executive officer.
