Ambulance runs increase in 1996
The Nye County Emergency Medical Service in
Pahrump, with 457 calls in the last quarter of 1996, just
barely topped the previous high in 1995, according to
Bill Pyzyna, EMS Coordinator.
The total call volume in 1996 was 1683, compared to
1679 in 1995. "This was the first year that our call
volume did not increase by 20 - 25%. "...I think that
having the Pahrump Medical Center open 24 hours
caused our total to remain level," Pyzyna said, EMS
Coordinator. "Without the clinic, I believe our total
would have topped 2000 calls."
