Newport Ambulance Report

Our call volume increased to 3107 calls in 2022 from a total of 3052 in 2021.
In 2022 Newport Ambulance responded to 198 emergency calls in the Town of
Brighton and transported 18 Town residents from North Country Hospital to
receive care in other facilities. We have also responded to 61 calls for mutual aid.

Our Crews continue to work close with the Vermont Dept. of Health and Vermont
Emergency Medical Services to assist with the statewide COVID 19 testing and
Vaccine sites throughout the state. In 2022 Newport Ambulance hosted a drive
through Covid testing site. We also have delivered thousands of Covid and flu
vaccines to patients throughout Orleans and Essex County. We currently are serving
as a drive through COVID-19 and Flu vaccine site at our 830 Union Street location
2 days a week.

Newport Ambulance has been fortunate to continue and receive funding from the
Coronavirus Emergency Outbreak Testing & Vaccination Administration Grant.
This funding was used to pay off the Mortgage on the Morgan Station and keep the
cost down to the taxpayers.

Currently the ambulance service has 3 crews providing 24/7 service. This service
presently has 6 ambulances, and a Paramedic first response car that are stocked and
available to respond, at the Advanced Life Support level, at any time.

Newport Ambulance has substation in Morgan and is running a crew there 24/7.
This will help serve parts of Derby, Holland, Morgan, Charleston, and Brighton.

Newport Ambulance facilities are located at 830 Union St, Newport and 8437 RTE
111, Morgan.
Newport Ambulance Service thanks you for your support and looks forward to
serving you and your town.

Respectfully
Jeffrey J. Johansen,
Executive Director
