ALBION â Itâs a problem, but itâs not just Noble Countyâs issue.
Local emergency responders say there are times that Parkview EMS only has three ambulances â and sometimes just two â on duty in Noble County.
Under terms of a contract with the Noble County Commissioners, Parkview Health is supposed to provide four ambulances in Noble County. The commissioners pay $340,000 per year for that service.
The issue is a lack of EMTs, particularly those willing to work in Noble and LaGrange counties.
But the problem isnât isolated to those two counties.
The Three Rivers Ambulance Authority, which provides EMS services in Allen County, recently declared its own emergency measures due to low staffing issues. Those staffing issues have created longer response times than the company has promised, according to WANE-TV reporting.
