Presentation by Mike Castelluccio from Lakeview_ Memorial <br />HospItal'on area Hospital Service. <br />Mr. Castelluccio stated that this hospital has recently made <br />application to the State Department of.' Health for ap'?roval to operate <br />an ambulance service in Stillwater and the surrounding area. They <br />feel that as. a non-profit and hospital based ambulance service, they <br />can offer quality service at a reasonable cost to the people using the <br />ambulance service. The plans now are for two new ambulances; and to <br />have a paramedic and EMT on duty twenty-four hours a day, seven days a <br />week, for the first call. The back up ambulance will consist of a <br />paid part-time roster of volunteers who will be paid on a per --run <br />basis. `They now have over thirty volunteers on this roster. There <br />are nurses within the hospital who are qualified for ambulance <br />service, and will also be taking EMT training. They have targeted for <br />a thirty percent savings from the existing rates. Mr. Castelluccio <br />further stated that at this point, they do not feel that they will <br />need a subsidy from any of the communities. If a subsidy was ever <br />requested, the hospital's books will be opened; and the only reason <br />that a subsidy would ever be requested would be to keep the rates <br />down. There will be a rate list published in the near future comparing <br />the proposed rates from Lakeview Hospital versus the rates from the <br />existing ambulance service. <br />Fire Chief, Fran Pott, stated that all of the incidents mentioned in <br />the local television stations expose on the current ambulance service <br />were in the Oak: Park Heights/Stillwater area. They did not involve <br />Lake Elmo. <br />
