ST. JOSEPH’S EMS TAKEOVER OF AUSTIN COUNTY EMS STOPPED

  

The St. Joseph’s Health Care System will not be taking over the Austin County Emergency Medical service anytime soon.

Austin County Judge Carolyn Bilski says an overwhelming response from the public at Monday’s meeting of the county commissioners over the proposal prompted the commissioners to terminate any discussion regarding the request from St. Joseph’s.

Judge Bilski says she heard the opposition to the proposal at the county commissioners, while shopping and even church, and said she needed to respond.
