Knox County is putting the finishing touches on a deal with a new ambulance service.
Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes will now be the county’s ambulance provider once the Knox County EMS contract ends at the end of the month.
The hospital has spent the last several weeks assembling a team of EMTs and other first responders to operate the new EMS service.
So far 14 employees have been hired and equipment has arrived to begin service immediately.
Knox County EMS chose not to renew it’s contract with the county last year prompting the change in providers.
