More than 2 years ago our staff began working on the design with focuses on patient and crew safety , easy access to the tools our teams need to provide great care and comfort for our patients . Our new LifeLine ambulances will serve our patients very well over the next 7 years . And then the module on the back will be removed and mounted on a new chassis and completely updated – at a cost savings of more than $ 76,000 each . They were funded through several sources including generous
community support and one of that was 100 % funded through a federal grant .
