Summary
Joe Moore’s letter argued that Beaver Island should retain Advanced Life Support. It said BIEMS paramedics provided ALS and that care begun at BIRHC could continue during transport. Moore cited the letter’s figures that 82% of annual ambulance transports required ALS because of patient condition, that the service affected more than thirty people each year, and that it was called on at least 90 times annually.
