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 X- 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 2020-3768 ivii co HLOOSD ;fit.

I� PIPInarafflid r' aleJalalaialatalcial 6 J DATE Ern G 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: Southeast Weld Fire Protection District As required in Section 7-2-100.6.5., 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: Southeast Weld FPD operates a Fire Based EMS Transport service for its District and also supports Hudson Fire Protection District with service. SEWFPD has decreased the response time to benefit the citizens and guests of both Fire Districts. FINDING #2: The EMTS Council has not been aware of any deficiencies related to the level of service and response times. FINDING #3: SEWFPD strives to deliver excellent service to the citizens and guests of both Districts. The service they provide is efficient, effective, and coordinated, not only in its response areas but also their willingness to assist neighbors. FINDING #4: 2020 has brought significant challenges to the EMTS Council. SEWFPD is an active participant in the EMTS Council and attends meetings as well as participates in the R&I discussions. Recommended Level of Service: Tier 2 Tier 3 Recommended Service Area: The EMTS Council has reviewed the service area for Southeast Weld FPD 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 I Ambulance License to Southeast Weld Fire Protection District.
