FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LEWIS COUNTY SHARES ADDENDUM TO CGR EMS STUDY
LOWVILLE, NY — Lewis County is
sharing a newly released addendum to the EMS Sustainability Study developed
by CGR as part of the County’s ongoing effort to provide transparency and
ensure the community has access to complete information about the state of
local emergency medical services.
The County
requested this addendum to clarify several areas where stakeholders,
including EMS providers, municipal officials, and members of the public,
sought more information.
This supplemental
information ensures that the County, EMS leadership, and elected officials
have a more complete picture of current system pressures, especially
regarding volunteer workforce shortages, rising operational costs, and the
growing dependence on mutual aid.
The addendum also
strengthens the foundation for evaluating long-term EMS system options,
including supplemental service through Lewis County General Hospital or the
potential development of a County-managed EMS model, as outlined in the
original study.
Both the full EMS
Study and the Addendum are available on our website: https://lewiscountyny.gov/departments/emergency-management/
