Five Towns Unite for New EMS Authority | Philadelphia News

Five Delaware County towns are uniting to launch a new emergency medical services authority, filling a critical gap left by shuttered hospitals. Nether Providence, Rose Valley, Rutledge, Swarthmore, and Upper Providence will fund the initiative through annual resident, business, and municipal fees—starting at $95 per year, or less than $8 monthly. The newly formed board will build staffing, equipment, and partnerships from scratch, while neighboring Media opted out for now but remains supportive. This bold move aims to ensure reliable, equitable, and sustainable emergency care for the region. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
