They covered majority of ALS Medical patch via the MED Channels 1-10 UHF and telephone for the counties they served along with airmedical agencies.
since the majority of health networks obtained private communication networks the need for medcomm grew less along with funding.

Unfortunate another station gone quiet!

I believe its a redundant holdback from old days where hospitals years ago was not able to have their own internal systems for ER notifications.

90% of the time the medics call in on the phone to medcomm request direct patch, but most have private networks which they are all digital o money was allocated. Medical patches have become busier on the systems. Curious if counties will implement the UHF system at all.

All these trunk systems have direct patches anymore it was just matter of time sadly
