As of 7:30pm Thursday, the Portage Area Ambulance Association has ceased operations. The president of the ambulance service says the closure is due to “Economic times and low insurance reimbursements.”
He goes on to say nearby ambulance services will now provide mutual aid in the area, and that the county 911 center has been notified.
We were told the ambulance associations business office will remain open, as officials hope to rectify the current situation.
