WAYNE COUNTY, N.Y. — Western Wayne Ambulance, which serves both the towns of Walworth and Marion, has ended its 24/7 services starting Friday.
It comes after the Walworth Town Board voted to create a new, tax-funded Wayne County EMS as the town’s main ambulance service. That new EMS service will start up on Nov. 15.
In a statement, Western Wayne Ambulance asked the town board and the Wayne County Board of Supervisors to reconsider the resolution and to “work collaboratively to preserve a diverse and community-rooted EMS system.” Cody Szatkowski, the agency’s president, released this statement:
“Had we been approached, even once, by this Town Board to meaningfully discuss solutions to the Board’s perceived concerns, we would have readily accepted the opportunity. Our organization has been transparent about the financial realities of rural EMS and has worked hard to sustain service to this community. Losing primary response authority in Walworth eliminates our ability to continue current services.”
In a statement from the Town of Walworth, it says the town is “not affiliated with any emergency service providers and has no financial or oversight responsibility to private organizations.” Read the full statement:
“The Town of Walworth is not affiliated with any emergency service providers and has no financial or oversight responsibility to private organizations. Furthermore, our hope is that emergency service providers in the area will continue to support each other towards the common goal of helping our friends, neighbors, and loved ones in their time of need.”
