So today the LACO EMS Agency unanimously denied an operators license to this company. Good Job LA, good job.
 
Finally LaCo is cleaning up house. All these shady renal rodeo companies

Feel bad for the employees though
 
Medlife is allowed to operate during the appeals process. Elite will probably do the same.
 
I'm confused. It looks like the only issue is that Culver City wouldn't verify that Elite held a business license and that they were waiting for LACo EMS to issue a license before they issued a city business license. Link I would imagine that something more significant than that would be documented in order to defend denying a license to an ambulance company.
 
They were also denied for unqualified management and the role that the owners husband who was a convicted criminal for identity fraud posed as the president of ellite

Just curious, do you have a source for this?
 
Yeah I was there.. The audience was packed... I can honestly say that elite's management was not well prepared.
 
Good enough. Just curious.
 
LA County is just looking to reduce amount of ambulance running in their county. It should not be up to the county to decide if the experience of management is good enough or not. I really want to see how hearing for American professional ambulance will go. They been around for long time, if they run in to problem then everyone will as well.
 
on the contrary, i do believe that the EMS Agency should be involved in approving or denying operators licenses. A company should have experienced management to run a legitimate ambulance service. Although it might not require the person starting up the company to be well versed with pre-hospital knowledge, but definitely should hire competent management. I mean, would you want your family members to be transported by a company with unqualified management, which in turn, will produce poorly trained EMT's? The "owner" of Elite had no idea what was going on in her Company, neither did the GM. The only qualified manager was the Paramedic they hired, which she also got reamed for flaunting a LACO Paramedic patch on her right shoulder and an Elite patch on the left, portraying that Elite operates paramedic level of service.
 
Ahhh gotcha I know PRN, bowers and liberty actually have medic units separate from CCT. That being said it still is all IFT work and aside from a pay raise, rather dull work. Does elite run into Orange County too?

Yes PRN,Bowers,Liberty and many others run medic rigs. Those companies are all LaCo approved. Not just City.

Elite didn't offer any ALS transport services?

Elite runs CCT in la and surrounding area. However when you apply for LACO you first need to apply for BLS and then with in 30 days you must apply for cct, als etc.
 
Does anybody have any information on how I can attend these hearings?
