Need for Paramedics

To The Eagle,

I would like to know why the county can’t afford to pay a full-time paramedic. We need one. We have a few older people that live in town, Skamokawa, and the island that would benefit from having one. My nephew might have lived if there had been a paramedic who could administer medicine right away. We have a wonderful team of EMS workers, but they can only do so much. I would like the county to look into it. We need a paramedic.
