SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
The ambulance service which serves Mora Valley is certified by the Public Regulation Commis-
sion as a Basic Life Support ambulance service, but occasionally they provide a more advanced
(EMT-Intermediate) level of response. They have a physician medical director, EMS service
director and a training coordinator. They respond when dispatched for all medical and traumatic
health emergencies within a large geographic area.
