Medex seeks county franchise to provide non-emergency medical transport in Bertie County
Summary
Medex Medical Transport requested a franchise to offer non-emergency medical transport in Bertie County, arguing it would improve access to care and create local jobs and revenue; the company presented service capabilities to the Board.
Gregory Brooks, representing Medex Medical Transport, asked the Bertie County Board of Commissioners to grant the company a franchise to operate non-emergency medical transport in the county.
Brooks described Medex’s experience in non-emergency medical transport and said the company’s services could enhance access to reliable transportation for residents who require medical care. He also highlighted possible local economic benefits such as job creation and additional county revenue from vehicle registration, inspections and maintenance work conducted locally.
Commissioners did not take an immediate vote on a franchise at the Jan. 5 meeting; the presentation served as an introductory request and a prompt for further staff review of regulatory, insurance, and operational requirements for county franchise agreements.
