Our History
A timeline of the moments that shaped A Believers EMS from a single ambulance to today.
Fourteen years. One mission.
A timeline of the moments that shaped us — from one ambulance in a Houston garage to one of Texas's most trusted private EMS providers.
NPI enumerated
Rodney Baker registers A Believers EMS LLC with CMS — National Provider Identifier #1235213786 issued October 24, 2006. The Texas DSHS ambulance license #800182 follows.
First transports
Operations begin in earnest from the Bammel North Houston headquarters. Texas Medicaid enrollment confirmed (#184618001). The first Houston families and skilled nursing facilities become repeat clients.
Family business takes shape
Rodney's son Rod joins the operation. The two run dispatch, billing and the rigs as a true family business — the model the company has kept ever since.
Recognition
Featured on MyBestHouston's "20 Best Private Ambulance Services in Houston" list. 5-star aggregate rating across Yelp and YellowPages from patients, families and discharge teams.
Permit renewed
Houston Health Department ambulance provider permit reaffirmed through March 2026. Still Black-owned, still family-run, still answering the phone ourselves.
Today
Two decades into the work, A Believers EMS is the Houston transport service patients ask for by name. We move dialysis patients, lab visits, hospital discharges and inter-facility transfers every week across the Greater Houston metro.
One call. The Baker family on the other end.
Call Rodney or Rod directly to book a transport, ask about Medicaid coverage, or coordinate a discharge. We answer the phone ourselves — the way it should be.
