 In this episode, we interview Paramedic Jessica Thompson to talk about ambulance services closing in rural areas. The financial struggles faced by EMS providers, coupled with outdated reimbursement rates, have led many to economic collapse, forcing them to reduce staff or halt services altogether. This reduction in services not only impacts the immediate area but also places additional strain on neighboring services, creating a domino effect that worsens response times and stretches resources thin across wider regions.
