Sweetwater County Commission in Wyoming voted last year to end its contract with Sweetwater Medics and a plan has finally been implemented to move forward with emergency services. Castle Rock Hospital started taking over ambulance service in Rock Springs by hiring EMT’s to staff ambulances on September 29th. They are now fully staffed for three ambulances and will complete the transition of takeover completely by November 21st. Castle Rock will have 26 ½ Full-Time Equivalents, four more than what they had previously, that help staff two full-time ambulances in Rock Springs and one in Green River. Every call will have a paramedic or an EMT Intermediate on board, which is the highest level of EMT that can be had in Wyoming. Traditionally services were provided to Daggett County in Utah and Farson. Right now there are no plans for that to change.
