I’ve lived in Moffat County since 1976 and I hope to live here for the rest of my life. I want people in our community to thrive and lead healthy lives. Unfortunately, we are at risk of losing our emergency medical services (EMS). Memorial Regional Health recently announced that they can no longer provide EMS for Moffat County. We now have an opportunity and an important decision ahead of us to ensure we keep this critically important emergency service. I don’t want anyone to lose a loved one because needed resources were not available. Moffat County is the second largest in Colorado. It presents us with unique challenges to protect our loved ones. Our community deserves the security of knowing that EMS will always be ready when called. A health service district is an excellent solution to one of these challenges. A health service district is a local way to keep local EMS.
