Gilmer, ETMC Reach Pact on EMS Service

GILMER — During an open city council meeting Tuesday, officials with the city of Gilmer and ETMC agreed on a solution that will keep both parties happy and residents safe. Last November, ETMC Gilmer announced it would discontinue ambulance services this March. KETK reports the hospital has now agreed to assign the Camp County EMS branch to Gilmer. ETMC says at this point it does not have any other comment — that details are still being worked out and that for now, questions are being referred to the city of Gilmer. Signatures are expected within the next two weeks, and then construction for the new ambulance building will begin.
