“There is a need for transportation for our aging communities,” said Ronald Pirrallo, MD, president of the National Association of EMS Physicians. “I guess the dilemma is, what is their healthcare need or healthcare intervention requirement either prior to or during that transport, because that’s what defines the true use or need for an ambulance.”
