Council approves new EMS medical director to replace Dr. People
Summary
Council approved staff recommendation to appoint a new medical director for the EMS department (referred to in packet as Dr D) after the previous physician moved into administrative duties; staff said the new director will be involved in training and medical oversight.
The Hoyt Lakes City Council approved appointing a new medical director for the Emergency Medical Services department after staff reported the existing physician would move to more administrative duties.
Staff explained that Dr. People is transitioning away from front-line medical direction and that the city has identified another physician in the packet, referred to as "Dr D," who has accepted the position. The city administrator said she had shared Dr. People's current contract with Dr D and that Dr D indicated the contract terms were acceptable. Council members asked about opportunities to meet the new doctor and were told Dr D intends to be involved in trainings and will be accessible for council or staff meetings when scheduled.
A motion to accept Dr D as the EMS medical director was made, seconded, and approved by the council.
Staff said they will follow up with contract documents and any necessary administrative steps to formalize the appointment.
