We are fortunate to Have our EMS service

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

We in San Juan County have become accustomed to expect excellent emergency services. We are very fortunate to have a fine crew of highly trained EMT’s and paramedics. I for one appreciated knowing that when I called 911 in November last year I would have qualified care at my door in less than 15 minutes. Our high level of emergency services is at risk if the levy isn’t passed to meet rising costs.

A yes vote on Proposition 1 will ensure that no lifesaving services will be eliminated.

SJIEMS saves lives!!

(This measure supports San Juan Island Emergency Medical Services (SJIEMS), not hospital services at Peace Island Medical Center.)
