[MCOH-EH] Ambulance Response Times

[Kris Arnold]

Dr. A/Rahman,

Quick answer - Federally = none;  States = none ; local municipalities =
mostly as contractural agreements on minimum acceptable performance x% of
the time with private providers when there is no municipal provider.

The following links may help clarify this for you:

And a bit more geographically and politically relevant to your situation:

Best of luck with finding the most appropriate solution for your situation.

Regards.
