Michael Fitzgibbons knows his organization canât swim upstream forever.
As president and CEO of Susquehanna Valley Emergency Medical Services, he knows that the relentless financial current of rising costs and falling reimbursements is making it harder than ever to keep ambulance associations like his moving forward.
So about a year ago, Fitzgibbons decided that the countyâs second busiest ambulance association would be smart to get help from a bigger and stronger organization â Penn State Health.
Penn State Health agreed to pull the EMS aboard. The two nonprofits recently signed a letter of intent, calling for Penn State Health to acquire Susquehanna Valley EMS effective July 1 for a price to be determined.Â
