A person in a fatal car accident on Prentice St had EMTs from Holliston but needed to wait for paramedics from Medway!
We cannot have paramedics in Holliston soon enough.
Holliston residents were dependent upon paramedics from Millis, Medway and Ashland 8 times too many this week.
Do support action to have paramedics in Holliston, Holliston residents deserve so much better.
The entire ambulance budget is approximately $1.1 million and last year 37% of the budget was reimbursed from insurance ambulance service. Cost is not an issue and should not cause delays.
There was no delay in care for the patient involved in the motor vehicle crash. Interventions were begun prior to the arrival of the ALS intercept from Medway Fire. The patient was treated and transported to a landing zone, where care was transferred to the helicopter crew for air medical transport to a trauma center.
