Ambulance service in Morgan County is under scrutiny from several residents who worry just two ambulances cannot sufficiently handle the medical needs of the community after personally experiencing long wait times during dire emergencies. Since November of 2017, Morgan County Dispatch called out-of-county ambulances a total of 88 times to respond to emergencies when Morgan County’s two designated ambulances from National EMS were either tied up on other calls or needed more assistance on the scene. After two recent controversial cases, one in which a woman died after waiting nearly a half hour for an ambulance and another in which seven injured car accident victims waited while bleeding on the side of the road for almost an hour before an ambulance arrived, several local citizens are asking for a third ambulance to be added in Morgan County.
