Ambulance Association names Finegold legislator of year
The Massachusetts Ambulance Association has recognized state Sen. Barry Finegold, D-Andover, as the 2020 Legislator of the Year. Association President Dennis Cataldo and the Board of Directors lauded Finegoldâs crucial support of non-public ambulance services in this year s state budget.
Finegold worked on a Medicaid-matching program for ambulance companies providing critical services during COVID-19, which was instrumental in helping those companies recoup costs.
âThis year, itâs all of you and your teams who should be recognized for risking your own health to protect our communities, Finegold said. We have asked more and more of our EMS personnel, and they have bravely continued to show up for work each day in the face of this pandemic. It is the least I can do to make sure ambulance providers have the resources necessary to respond to COVID-19 in an aggressive manner.â
