Public meeting on EMS Tuesday

Crittenden County Judge-Executive Perry Newcom has scheduled a public meeting to receive feedback on the direction the fiscal court should take regarding ambulance service subsidies requested by Crittenden Health Systems.

Newcom said he has a meeting planned for today (Thursday) with hospital administrators in order to receive more specific financial data regarding the emergency medical service’s reported annual losses. With that information, Newcom hopes to provide the public with more answers regarding the issue.

The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., Tuesday at the courthouse.
