Mission : Help EMS
No organization can solve this problem by themselves. No one can afford a fully paid EMS system, what is the solution?
List PROBLEMS
1. County Government does not fully understand problem
2. Organizations afraid of change
3. Lack of people to help
4. Time requirement of service
5. Apathy
Solutions
1. Government Involvement ¡V Members of County government have a rough Idea of what we do.
2. Community ¡V Find new sources of people ¡V Youth in HS and Retired Individuals
3. Fire and EMS ¡V We have to embrace and support programs
Ideas to help change or way of providing the service.
1. First step on any good solution is to admit or see that there is a problem
2. Find ways to improve existing services
3. Find new people to help
Current issues
ƒæ We need Drivers and EMT¡¦s
ƒæ Paramedics are only suppose to do 30% of calls ¡V padded National Average
ƒæ 4 Volunteer Ambulance Corps and 7 FD¡¦s providing service to Putnam
ľ 4 Fly car / Ambulances to cover entire County
ľ Organizations billing and paying for staff
ľ Youth that gets trained and then goes away to College or Somewhere they can afford to live
ľ A shrinking senior citizen group with cost and relocation
I am brain storming and yes it hurt, answer back if you have any thing to add or suggestion to help.
