It's not the first time we've told you about this story, someone with a medical emergency in Youngstown and no ambulance to answer their call. This weekend, Youngstown Police took one man to the hospital in a cruiser because he thought he was having a heart attack and no ambulances were available. We know the city is working with AMR ambulance on a plan to give better coverage to the city and the city is looking to run it's own EMS program but that planning could take a year to do. This past Sunday morning just proved how dire the situation has become. In a span of two hours on Sunday morning there were four calls in the city for an ambulance when none was available, which only proves the call for a solution grows louder with each passing day.
