public health

Mr. Robert Lennon of Lennon’s Ambulance Service appeared before the Board regarding the statement that Waterman Memorial Hospital could take over the Ambulance Service and operate it more efficiently.  Discussion was held on the disbursement of the $18,000 among the ambulances.  Commr.

At this time Commr. Windram read to the Board a letter from Doctor Henry C. Huntley, Administrator of the Emergency Medical Services, stating that he had received a formal grant application from Waterman Memorial Hospital requesting funds to operate ambulance services for the northeastern section of Lake County.

Commr. Carson stated that he had been informed that there are some legal problems in getting the funds available allocated to a private Ambulance Service.  Mr. Ford stated that if the Hospital bought new ambulances they could lease them to the private companies which would eliminate many of the problems which the Board and Lennon’s had been faced with in the past.  Mr. Ford stated that this would be an excellent way of funneling the State Funds to the Ambulance Service yet the Hospital would be the owner of the vehicles.  Mr. Ford stated that this would have to be worked out between Waterman Memorial Hospital and Lennon’s Ambulance Service.  Commr. Carson asked Mr. Ford if this could be better worked out through a committee due to the legal technicalities involved.  Commr. Windram suggested that a committee be comprised of himself, Mr. Ford, County Attorney; Mr. Kulpan, Administrator of Waterman Memorial Hospital; Doctor Langley, Chairman of the Emergency  Medical Services Council; Mr. Robert Lennon of Lennon’s Ambulance Service and his attorney.  Commr. Carson established this committee as outlined by Commr. Windram and appointed Commr. Windram as its Chairman.  Commr. Carson expressed his hopes that attention could be given to this problem as soon as possible and that a report and recommendation would be forthcoming to the Board in the near future.
