Decatur will be losing its ambulance service soon.

According to Decatur city officials, they were notified by HSHS St. Mary's Hospital last week that the Decatur Ambulance Service was being dissolved.

The city says it's now working on a solution to make a smooth transition.

Below you will find a statement from Decatur City Manager Scot Wrighton:

“The City of Decatur learned from HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital more than a week ago that DAS would be dissolving. Since then, the City has been working on a solution with both hospitals and other key medical providers,” Wrighton said. “While the City’s role is to issue licenses for ambulance services, we are also leading the discussion to ensure a smooth transition of services for our community. Everyone is committed to developing plans that result in no service interruption.”

We reached out to the ambulance service for more information but have not heard back.
