City officials try to clear
hazy ambulance picture
By RICHARD WAGONER
Of the Emerald
The fate of Eugene’s ambulance service
remained unknown Wednesday afternoon as
Medical Services, Inc., continued operations
despite threats by its owner that the service would
shut down.
The cities of both Eugene and Springfield are
providing ambulance service in addition to the
financially plagued MSI, which has operated an
ambulance business in the Eugene-Springfield
area for the past 23 years.
Eugene and MSI officials met late Wednes
day afternoon to "clear up the confusion" sur
rounding the apparent demise of MSI, according
to Eugene city representative Carol Baker.
"It's confusing to the public because they
don’t know where to call," Baker says. "We want
to clear up the confusion.”
MSI owner Bill Leonard surprised city of
ficials Tuesday when he threatened to shut down
his business by 5 p.m. Tuesday after hearing
complaints about service from a local emergency
room physician.
Leonard’s attorney later retracted the am
bulance operator’s statement saying MSI would
continue to operate.
But MSI's bankruptcy consultant Louis Sen
nick says MSI paramedics are quitting to take jobs
with the cities of Eugene and Springfield, leaving
the fate of MSI in even greater doubt.
Meanwhile, the City of Springfield Wednes
day morning suspended MSI’s license to operate.
Springfield City Manager Steve Burkett says the
city council will hold a public hearing tentatively
set for May 18 to decide whether to revoke or
reinstate MSI’s operating license
MSI employees reportedly were evacuating
the business’s Springfield office Wednesday and
were moving out equipment.
Eugene firefighters had answered about a
half-dozen ambulance calls by 10 a m. Wednes
day morning with no major problems, says fire
department representative Timothy Birr.
Birr says Eugene filled the ambulance gap
Tuesday by borrowing ambulances from Leban
on, Albany and Salem and staffing them with three
paramedics who already work for the department.
Other paramedics from Lebanon arrived
Wednesday as temporary help, and Birr says the
city will hire other temporary paramedics until a
final decision on the status of ambulance service
is reached.
Springfield began its ambulance operation
Wednesday by borrowing ambulances from Oak
ridge and the McKenzie Rural Fire Protection
District and staffing them with former MSI em
ployees.
Both Eugene paramedics and MSI employees
have responded to some of the same emergen
cies since the transition, Birr says, but no prob
lems between the two groups have developed.
“If MSI has the situation under control, we
leave it to them,” Birr says. "The relationships
between our people and their’s have been quite
agreeable.”
Leonard’s announcement that he would shut
down his service came at an Emergency Medical
Services Task Force meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Physician John Mackey told the task force
that emergency room physicians of the three
Eugene-Springfield hospitals have lost con
fidence in MSI’s ability to produce a stable work
force of paramedics.
When Leonard was asked to respond to the
charge, he said he was tired of the hassle and
announced the business would shut down by 5
p.m.
Both Eugene and Springfield ambulances are
being dispatched through the Eugene Fire
Department and can be reached by calling
344-2211.
