Summary
Greene County’s ambulance service has shut down temporarily due to a crippling cash shortage, forcing crews to halt operations to avoid endangering patients and staff. With no local ambulances to transport patients, the county is relying on neighboring EMS teams — but expect much longer response times as they travel farther. Officials are urgently calling for community and leadership support to restore this vital service. A Quick Response Vehicle is now on the road to speed up medical personnel arrival, but it doesn’t fix the core issue: no way to transport patients. Residents should still call 911 for emergencies — just brace for delays until full service returns.
