The move gives South Side residents another outlet for care
Provident Hospital will soon start accepting ambulances again — 11 years after the hospital stopped taking them — giving South Side residents another outlet for care.
Rocha said Tuesday he wasn’t sure why Provident stopped taking ambulances in the first place, but the expansion of Medicaid coverage to more people and the Affordable Care Act have helped make the resumption possible now.“You have much more coverage, much more investment, and the community has grown, and you’ve also seen some hospitals close, so there is a need for the access, for services in the community,” Rocha said.
