Belmont, N.Y. – Allegany County has progressed several EMS initiatives in 2022 including the formation
of an EMS Advisory Board, securing an EMS Medical Director, and initializing Paramedic training to begin
in January 2023. Recently, the County began exploring whether or not it should create or purchase a county-
wide Certificate of Need. The County is seeking proposals for the completion of a comprehensive
emergency medical services study to assist in determining its future role in coordinating services with
volunteer EMS agencies and how to best utilize County resources towards those objectives. The requested
study will provide an evaluation and analysis of existing EMS operations within the County and make
recommendations for long-term success, stability, and improved efficiency and safety for both EMS
services and the public.
