KNOX COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Knox County officials are looking at three ambulance service options that could be the county’s next ambulance provider.
Officials met Monday and discussed whether Good Samaritan Hospital, American Medical Response or Knox County EMS will serve the county. Knox County is one of two counties in Indiana that does not have a subsidized ambulance service.
Officials said the county could also implement a local income tax to help fund a county ambulance service. Vincennes Mayor Joe Yochum said he is pleased with discussions among county and municipal officials.
“We’ve been looking at this for over a year now, about where we are with an ambulance service, and finally we’ve all come together as elected officials and had a good discuss on what we’re looking at,” Yochum said.
The next scheduled meeting will be at 5 p.m. March 21 at Vincennes City Hall.
