** Virtual Meeting – October 30, 2023 **
The State of Vermont, Department of Health, Division of Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Injury Prevention has engaged Emergency Management Matters, LLC (EMM,) to design and implement a Regional Emergency Medical Services (EMS) coordination study culminating in a written report to be submitted to the Vermont State Legislature.
This study will focus on identifying issues and provide recommendations for legislative considerations that will sustain and improve the provision of EMS for Vermont. This includes but is not limited to:
1. Issues related to costs of service, cost effectiveness of various current service models, and cost-effective alternative service models.
2. Existing funding models and identify long-term sustainable funding strategies.
3. Challenges and opportunities related to local and regional emergency response coordination.
4. EMS district structure, authority, duties, and the number of districts.
Some in person meetings have already taken place and others are planned at various locations in the State. ** It was recently announced that a Virtual Meeting will take place on October 30, 2023 at 7:00 pm. **
