Press Release- Paso Robles Expands Emergency Medical Services with Paramedic Squad
The city of Paso Robles announced the implementation of a paramedic squad, effective Sunday, November 9th.
The city says the launch of this specialized unit was made possible through support of the Paso Robles city council, and dedicated funding from measure J-20. The city says medical emergencies account for a majority of 9-1-1 calls within the city.
