Hospital district will provide capital support but not operate EMS, task force says
Summary
Presenters said the county hospital district told the task force it could help buy ambulances or capital equipment but does not intend to operate or staff EMS services for Brewster County; changing that role would require legislative action, the task force said.
Mark Rose told the joint meeting that the hospital district, which operates across two counties, has formally told the task force it will assist with capital purchases but will not take on ongoing EMS operations.
"They do not have it as part of their mission to provide E and V, and they do not intend to provide unit," Rose said, summarizing the hospital board's message. He added that altering the hospital district's statutory role—such as reassigning it to a single county—would require legislative action and is not feasible on the task force's timeline.
