Harvey Hall

In addition, Hall Ambulance is the largest privately owned emergency and non-emergency medical transportation provider in the State of California.

Running under the slogan “Unity in the Community,” Hall handily defeated a slate of nine other candidates in the March 2000 election to go on to become Bakersfield's 25th mayor.

On January 7, 2013, Hall was sworn-in to serve his fourth term in office, making him the longest-serving mayor in Bakersfield's history.

Hall has had a passion for, and is particularly fond of, participating in events that encourage children and young people to pursue their dreams and goals.

Hall was selected as the 2013 recipient of the American Red Cross – Kern Chapter Real Heroes Life of Service Award in April 2013.

The Plank Foundation honored Hall as the 2011 Humanitarian of the Year for donating his time and energy to selflessly serving others in the community.
