Clinton County EMS reports $1.759M in 2025 transport revenue, warns of staffing losses
Summary
EMS reported $1.759 million in ambulance transport revenue for 2025 and told commissioners the service faces staffing losses and burnout; commissioners offered to connect EMS to state legislators for possible support.
An EMS representative reported that ambulance transport revenue for 2025 totaled $1.759 million, a figure higher than the office's November estimate and higher than revenue when the speaker started in May 2022. The presenter said the department started a 12-month training class with 14 students and noted workforce challenges: staff are being recruited by career fire departments and burnout contributes to short tenures.
The presenter asked commissioners for assistance in reaching state legislators about policy options; a commissioner offered to connect EMS to Senator Buchanan and Representative Genda for potential legislative engagement. Officials discussed complexities tied to retirement and scheduling rules and said a coordinated conversation with state representatives could be useful.
No formal action was taken; commissioners noted the revenue report and offered follow-up contacts to support workforce retention efforts.
