About US

 Lifeguard first opened its doors in Pensacola, Florida in 1990. It first started as a small air ambulance company. It quickly grew thanks to the vision and excellent service imparted by the staff.  

The love for Costa Rica brought the original founder to set up urgent care clinics in remote touristic towns in Costa Rica. 

In 2014 Lifeguard was sold and the Costa Rica branch turned into a separate entity with a new owner. After this it has continued to develop as a premium urgent care service. Today we operate 4 urgent care clinics and will soon be opening 2 new locations in 2023. 

We have a travel assistance division which provides help to international insurances and travelers alike in need of medical or logistical services ranging from a simple taxi booking all the way up to the most complex air ambulance transports. Additionally, we operate a network of providers that covers most touristic locations of the country and several medical specialties.

In 2022 we will become a pioneer with our new boat ambulance which will be focused on sport fishing and commercial vessels which need medical services while in the ocean.
