Minnie Hamilton CEO Steve Whited and MHHS-EMS Director Brett Wellman reported on the status of ambulance service to the commission, Minnie Hamilton now operating the service for a full year.
Wellman said, "The reports continue to show improvements with response times, and that the service is adequately meeting the needs of Calhoun citizens."

County commissioners said in some regional counties, ambulance service is often delayed, hoping that the citizens of the county are grateful for having efficient service."
