Title
Resolution Authorizing Midwest Medical Transport, LLC d.b.a. MMT Ambulance to Operate Within Hampton, Virginia
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
Virginia Emergency Medical Services (EMS) regulation 12VAC5-31-420, requires that an EMS agency submit an ordinance or resolution from the governing body of each locality where the agency maintains an office to the Department of Health confirming that the governing body approves the agency’s operation within the locality. Recently, Midwest Medical Transport (“MMT”) acquired Medical Transport Incorporated from Sentara. MMT intends to operate out of 414 Marcella Road, the same location where Medical Transport operated, as a private transport service for citizens and hospitals for inter and intra-facility transports. MMT’s use has been approved by zoning, they have obtained a business license, they are registered with the state corporation commission, and they have obtained an agency license from the Department of Health. Chief Monk has no concerns about the approval of this business.
Recommendation:
Rec
Approve the Resolution.
