Mass. gets $160K grant to launch regional medic service

Three towns have created the state’s first inter-municipal paramedic ambulance service that will operate 24 hours, seven days a week

On Thursday, town leaders in Deerfield, Whately and Sunderland learned they received their full request of $160,620 from the annual state Community Innovation Challenge Grant — much anticipated money intended to help launch the South County Emergency Medical Service.

The money will be used to pay for the start-up process for the paramedic service, including some equipment and infrastructure needs.
