EMS Status Update
June 5th 2024
The Clark County Health Department is aware of the concerns regarding the EMS coverage of Clark County. New Chapel EMS has recently experienced a loss of workforce that has created challenges
meeting the requirements for adequate coverage required by the Clark County public safety plan. We have instituted several initiatives both to mitigate the strain on the system by New Chapel’s current
shortage and protect the citizens of our county if the issues should worsen. These initiatives include maximizing the resources available to community partners that either currently assist in EMS response or have the ability to flex up resources to provide EMS services. Additionally, we are adjusting the public safety plan to allow alternative providers to provide service for transfers and non-urgent transports, as well as exploring their ability to provide back-up and/or augment 911 response capacity.
