Lawley, Executive Director Department of Public Health & Environment DATE: December 11, 2020 SUBJECT: 2021 Applications for Ambulance Service Licenses Enclosed for the Board's review are fifteen applications for ambulance service licenses pursuant to the Weld County Code, Chapter 7, Emergency Medical Services, from the ambulance service providers listed below. The Weld County Emergency Medical Trauma Service (EMTS) Council reviewed each application on November 18, 2020, and approved all fifteen applications. Changes from 2020 include the addition of Ambulnz CO, LLC as a new Tier II ambulance service. Mile High Ambulance Service was previously approved in September 2020 for licensure through 2021. Based on the delegated responsibility of the Department, we have reviewed the applications and have deemed all ambulance services listed below to have met all applicable licensure application requirements as per Chapter 7. As such, I am recommending the following ambulance service providers for licensure: Tier I Banner Health/NCMC Paramedic Service 1801 16th Street Greeley, CO Frederick Firestone Fire Protection District 8426 Kosmerl Place Frederick, CO Front Range Fire Rescue 101 South Irene Avenue Milliken, CO Greeley Fire Department 1155 10th Avenue Greeley, CO Mountain View Fire Protection District 3561 Stagecoach Road, Unit 200 Longmont, CO Tier I (continued) North Metro Fire Rescue District 101 Spader Way Broomfield, CO Platte Valley Ambulance Service 1750 East Egbert Street Brighton, CO Platteville Gilcrest Fire Protection District 202 Main Street Platteville, CO Poudre Valley Hospital EMS 3509 South Mason Fort Collins, CO Southeast Weld Fire Protection District 65 East Gandy Avenue Keenesburg, CO Tier I (continued) Thompson Valley EMS 4480 Clydesdale Parkway Loveland, CO Windsor Severance Fire Protection District 100 North 7th Street Windsor, CO Tier II Ambulnz CO, LLC 7100 East Belleview Ave., Ste. 112 Greenwood Village, CO American Medical Response of Colorado 3800 Pearl Street Boulder, CO Tier III Stadium Medical, Inc. 695 Canosa Court Denver, CO 2020-3771 H LOOSa PlararaPFa WELD COUNTY DEPARTMENT PUBLIC Hi; .kL,TH 8c E N1/I ® :y C License to Operate Ambulance Service AMBULNZ CO, LLC Name of Service 7100 E.

This licensure does not provide for Primary Care, as defined in Section 7-1-30 of the Weld County Code. WELD COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT 1555 North 17th Avenue, Greeley, CO 80631 www.weldhealth.org Recommendation of the Weld County Emergency Medical/Trauma Service Council for: Ambulnz As required in Section 7-2-100.B.5., the EMTS Council should review the application to assess as to whether the ambulance service will contribute to an efficient, effective, and coordinated emergency medical response to residents of the County? Please include any findings related to response time, coordination with other ambulance services, location, service area, etc. that is the basis for the Council's recommendation: FINDING #1: Ambulnz is new to the Weld County system. As a Tier II applicant, the organization will provide interfacility transfers, which will allow 911 response units to be available for responses to incidents within their service area. FINDING #2: Freeing up 911 response units will improve response times for 911 units and contribute to efficient, effective, and coordinated emergency response. FINDING #3: Ambulnz will service much of the Front Range of Colorado, and the units within Northern Colorado will perform interfacility transfers to facilities as recommended by the Physicians. The service will better serve Weld County residents to transport them to specialized facilities for the required care. Recommended Level of Service: Tier 1 Tier 3 Recommended Service Area: The EMTS Council has reviewed the service area for Ambulnz and foresees no concerns. Other EMTS Council recommendations or comments: The EMTS Council recommends that the Weld County Board of County Commissioner grant a Tier II Ambulance to Ambulnz.
