UPDATE: McDonough County Could Face Ambulance Service Concerns as Hospital Ends Lifeguard Contract

UPDATE: McDonough County Could Face Ambulance Service Concerns as Hospital Ends Lifeguard Contract

County Board Chair Eric Blakeley told the Brief Friday afternoon that county residents deserve high quality ambulatory and ER services and options. "Canceling services and then saying, 'Oh well, it's someone else's problem' is not the correct way to address this," Blakeley added. "Other out of county medical providers might be eager to help our county in the event of a breach of service, if we reach that point. While I hope to resolve this in the coming weeks, I want our residents to know that we will do what we can to ensure they have ambulatory and ER services, though it might look a little different in the interim. As someone with deep roots in this community and skin in the game, I will always work to achieve the best options the good citizens of McDonough County deserve." 03/27/2026 05:04 PM
