Ambulance Service Sparks Stamford Financing Debates
Stamford faced a funding clash as Stanford Funeral Home began an ambulance service in 1978, expanding to 60 monthly calls and a $1,000 monthly subsidy with rising costs. The city ceded control in 1980, triggering talks on a hospital or private firm run EMS while concerns about Medicare, patient payability, and long hours endure.
