Palo Pinto Emergency Services District 1 and Palo Pinto County Hospital District broke ground on the Possum Kingdom East Ambulance Station and Medical Clinic Wednesday afternoon.
The 8,000-square foot facility will have ambulance staff stationed 24/7 and outpatient medical services to residents of the lake and nearby communities.
âWe felt the need to locate an ambulance facility here with the ever-growing population on this side of the lake just to provide a faster response,â ESD 1 Board President Tye Jackson said. âPeople that come from the city are used to having a three-minute fire truck and ambulance response and when they come to rural areas, they still expect that.â
