The Tioga County Legislature and the Tioga County Office of Emergency Services recently sought outside assistance to understand the changes that have occurred in their EMS system, how it is currently performing, and to identify opportunities to improve the service to the community.
Under the guidance of the Office of Emergency Services, consultants from the Center for Governmental Research (CGR) recently completed a comprehensive Tioga Countywide EMS study. This report focuses on how the agencies that serve Tioga County are faring among the national and state trends, how the residents of Tioga County are being served by the existing EMS system, and what could be done to improve the EMS system.
Tioga County Office of Emergency Services will be hosting two public information meetings to present key findings from the report; the first meeting will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 24, at 6 p.m. at the Waverly Central School District Auditorium, 1 Frederick St., Waverly; and the second meeting will be held on Thursday, Aug. 25, at 6 p.m. at the Owego Apalachin Central School District Auditorium, located at 1 Sheldon Guile Blvd. in Owego.
Representatives from CGR and the Office of Emergency Services will be on hand to share information about the study and answer questions. All are welcome to attend. Members of the public who are not able to attend in person are invited to attend the presentation online.
