Emergency medical dispatch for 911 calls is coming to Huron County.
Starting October 14th, the county will transition to the Medical Priority Dispatch System, improving the deployment of paramedics to meet patient needs by matching resources with the clinical situation and prioritize the most urgent 911 calls.
Huron County Paramedic Services expect this transition to have minimal impact on local services or experiences for those calling 911.
Jeff Horseman, Chief of Huron County Paramedic Services says callers might notice dispatch asking a few more questions as this helps dispatchers assess the situation and make sure paramedics are available for patients who need them the most.
