As required by Article 30 of the New York State Public Health Law, the Southwestern Regional EMS Council will be holding a Public Hearing to determine the need for conversion of Municipal Certificate of Need (Muni-CON) to a permanent operating authority for Chautauqua County. Chautauqua County EMS contends that Need exists, and failure to convert the Municipal Certificate of Need to permanent operating authority will jeopardize patient care and not be in the public’s best interests.
The Regional Council is soliciting comments from any interested parties regarding this matter. The state definition of need is: THE DEMONSTRATED ABSENCE, REDUCED AVAILABILITY OR AN INADEQUATE LEVEL OF CARE IN AMBULANCE OR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE AVAILABLE TO A GEOGRAPHICAL AREA WHICH IS NOT READILY CORRECTABLE THROUGH THE REALLOCATION OR IMPROVEMENT OF EXISTING RESOURCES.

Due to social distancing guidelines, in-person attendance will be limited and virtual attendance will be encouraged.
