EMS reforms urged to curb long shifts in Aiken County
Aiken County EMS faces staff shortages with medics logging up to 100 hours in a week. The JPS Committee backs 12 hour shifts at 2 to 4 busy stations and adding 4 to 8 EMS personnel, plus two new vehicles and two ambulances soon. Plans include a career ladder and station chief roles with extra pay. Funds from a 1 cent sales tax will finance two more EMS stations and vehicle replacements. County staff will price the plan and revisit it in December.
