About Cambria

At Tuesday’s Cambria Community Healthcare District (CCHD) meeting, the Trustees will be considering an agreement to station one of their ambulances and its crew at the Cambria Fire Department’s location on Burton Drive.  Also on the action agenda: a revised Addendum to the Interagency Operational Agreement and revised protocol for ALS equipment to be carried by Healthcare District Paramedics when on duty with the Cambria Community Services District Fire Department. Re-implementation of this program would occur when approval is received by Dr. Penny Borenstein, County Health Officer.

These two items, if approved, will affect operations and budgeting for both the Heathcare District and the Cambria Community Services District  Fire Department. They could also change the level of service available to Cambrians and everyone in the rural areas served by the CCHD, hopefully for the better.

The meeting is scheduled for 6:30pm in the Community Room at Rabobank at 1070 Main Street, Cambria.

Cambria Community Healthcare District President has called a special meeting next Monday to address two items:

1. Cambria Community Services District Meeting of February 19, 2009 – President Fratto will present a draft response to comments made at the Cambria Community Services District Meeting of February 19, 2009 regarding the Healthcare District ALS equipment on the Fire Engine.
2. Status of the Addendum to the Inter Agency Operational Agreement – Administrator Melendy will review the status of the Addendum to the Inter Agency Operational Agreement and provide statistics regarding the Healthcare District paramedic services and the level of coverage provided to the North Coast.

The meeting will be held at Rabobank, starting at 6:30. Anyone who is concerned about the district’s provision of services and fiscal issues should plan to attend. I, for one, am glad to see some action and discussion by the CCHD , especially considering the nature of the CCSD discussion last month.
