Board Meeting Notice
|
In addition to our primary response area, we have mutual aid agreements with the surrounding counties to provide emergency medical response if requested. We provide emergency medical response, inter-facility medical transports, special event standbys, and citizen assists to our community. In calendar year, 2012 we responded to 4,131 requests for service, resulting in 2,850 transports. Our call volume is a combination of 911 emergency medical calls, traffic crashes, citizen assists, non-emergent and emergency inter-facility transports (taking patients from a smaller hospital to one with a higher level of care) and mutual aid requests. Our operating revenue comes from a 1/2 cent sales tax and charges for services rendered.
