“The current level of operational deficit (in ambulance service) should NOT be DISMISSED as ACCEPTABLE and should be RECOGNIZED for the operational CRISIS and RISKS it presents to the town” (Capitalization added for emphasis) 2022 MRI study p 53.
Holliston should move forward toward ALS, which is the standard of care in the region, as quickly as possible and stop being dependent upon other towns for this critical health care service.
