Commissioner: Mercy Ambulance to leave Barry County; Life Ambulance to complete contract
Summary
Commissioner Bob Teunessen reported Mercy Ambulance will discontinue service in Barry County at the end of September; Life Ambulance is listed to fulfill the remainder of the contract, a change commissioners noted during routine reports.
During commissioner reports at the Aug. 12 meeting, Commissioner Bob Teunessen said Mercy Ambulance will discontinue service in Barry County at the end of September and that Life Ambulance will fulfill the remainder of the county’s contract.
The report was presented as part of routine commissioner updates; the meeting minutes do not record public comment on the change, details of transition plans, or whether additional county action is required. County Administrator Eric Zuzga separately relayed that Chief Jordan announced Hastings is now a certified Basic Life Support ambulance operator, which may affect local response capacity.
The minutes advise residents and stakeholders to follow up with county administration or local townships for further details; the record indicates Teunessen raised the service change during routine reports rather than as a formal agenda item.
