Letters to the Editor

Thanks for voteDr. Franciose and I would like to thank all of the voters who made the effort to vote in the election for new ambulance board members. We believe that your support for us indicates that you want to have physicians involved in such entities where their experience may have value. We appreciate your support and we will strive to work on this board in a responsible manner.Our passion is our work in emergency medicine and trauma care/surgery. Presently, our area has been blessed with a pre-hospital system where cooperation between our Fire Service Systems (Fire) and our Emergency Medical Systems (Ambi) has resulted in excellent care in the ‘field’. These systems have evolved with hard work and extensive planning by professionals from both areas. We believe our “ambi” board role is to facilitate all activities that will continue to ultimately provide the best patient care in the pre-hospital setting along with appropriate fiscal responsibility to the taxpayer and patient. Cooperation, communication and “TEAM” efforts will allow us to continue the excellent EMS service that we all enjoy.

We would like to thank all of the candidates who ran for these seats. Their willingness to volunteer their time and talent to such an entity indicates the importance they place on our EMS system. Finally, a great big “THANKS” to John Milligan and Dr. Kent Petrie for their long and valued service to the Ambulance District. Their key service and support has been greatly instrumental in shaping our EMS service to its present level of excellence.Larry BrooksReg Franciose
