Officials from Somers and Stafford are in talks to discuss the best way forward for providing paramedic service that’s financially fair and beneficial to both communities.
Somers has been delivering advanced life support, ALS, services to Stafford for the past three years and the towns are hoping to come up with an agreement of how, or whether, to continue the arrangement.
Selectmen from both towns, along with their leaders of ambulance services, met last week to discuss how to proceed with regional healthcare services now that call volume has been growing and the area hospital, Johnson Memorial, has shut down operating room services at least for the time being.
The officials will reconvene July 28 to review the specific costs of calls Somers makes to Stafford in comparison with how much Somers spends on providing the service.
