Resignations leave Duck Creek Ambulance District short-staffed, county says
Summary
A string of resignations — including the ambulance chief and multiple providers — left the Duck Creek Ambulance District without local staff; county leaders said external providers are covering calls but response times have increased.
County officials told the special meeting that a wave of resignations over several days left the Duck Creek Ambulance District without a functioning board and with insufficient providers to maintain normal ambulance operations. The director described receiving the first resignation on Tuesday and the final resignation of the last board member other than the director on Wednesday, along with the chief’s resignation and multiple provider departures.
"That left, me I think the reference is, the last man standing," the director said, describing the staffing collapse and the resulting need for rapid appointments. The director added that the medical director had restricted operating authority because the district lacked sufficient staff and local supervision, and that restoring authority will require coordination once a chief is appointed.
