The Georgia Region 3 EMS Advisory Council Meeting is Thursday at 10 am
Will an EMS Solution for slow ambulance services for Nothern DeKalb County be proposed?
City of Dunwoody is already paying for extra ambulances to solve DeKalb / AMR Shortfalls. Brookhaven is now looking for solutions to issues as well.
The City of Dunwoody has raised numerous issues regarding ambulance availability with DeKalb Fire Rescue, their contractor AMR as well as the State EMS Advisory Council. Our only solution was to provide additional ambulance services was for the City to pay for additional ambulance coverage that DeKalb should be providing.
There is a public meeting taking place tomorrow where Chief Mike Carlson (and maybe others) will be representing Dunwoody. I am hopeful that tomorrow both the Dunwoody Residents and those of Brookhaven will hear about proposed service improvements in the County EMS services.
