Memorandum
TO: Steve Moreno, Chair
Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Mark E. Wallace, MD, MPH
Executive Director
Department of Public Health & Environment
DATE: November 27, 2018
SUBJECT: 2019 Applications for Ambulance Service
Licenses
Enclosed for the Board's review are eleven 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 the application for each ambulance
service provider on November 15, 2018, and approved all 11 applications.
Changes from last year include adding American Medical Response of Colorado as a new ambulance service and
removing Colorado Motocross Medics because they have stopped operating in Weld County.
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 found in
Chapter 7. As such, I am recommending the following ambulance service providers for licensure:
