FT. OGLETHORPE, GA – Hutcheson Medical Center has donated nine ambulances to fleets in Catoosa, Dade, and Walker Counties, and Northwestern Technical College. The ambulances were donated after Hutcheson discontinued its ambulance service in December, according to the Hutcheson Medical Center.
Walker County, which has received four units, now operates a total of nine ambulances. While Catoosa and Dade Counties contract with private companies to provide ambulatory services, both were interested in accepting the donation of the ambulances. Hutcheson donated three ambulances to Catoosa, two to Dade County, and one was given to Northwestern Technical College for training purposes.
