For now, Bowie Ambulance runs at status quo
The City of Bowie will continue operating its ambulance service, but officials have not ruled out any possible changes in service area and costs.
As the doors closed on Bowie Memorial Hospital Monday morning, the ambulance service was having a normal start to the week; however, this time there was no local hospital to drop patients as they maneuvered to different hospital locations.
Fire Chief Doug Page said “Where are you going?” is the number one question they are hearing from people.
City Manager Ricky Tow said nothing changes in policy or the standards of care due to the local hospital’s closure.
