We respect the privacy rights of our patients and their families, therefore, it is the policy of CCEMS to not disclose any patient identifiable information to anyone, unless required to do so by law. We do not comment on any political, legal, personnel, or other matters outside the purview of CCEMS. All of these will be referred to appropriate County Department, or the County Commission.
