Keep Ambulance Dispatch Service in Medicine Hat Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/keep-ambulance-dispatch-service-in-medicine-hat.html Online petition signatures en-us Thu, 16 Apr 2026 08:54 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mrs bLANKA Kastning [Signature #1415] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/19012302?utm_medium=rss Moving our Ambulance Dispatch to Calgary will definitely put our lives in jeopardy as times will most certainly increase. This will also cost jobs in our community when we are trying to keep our city alive and well. Centralizing services has never been good thing!! Keep our city of MH strong and leave our dispatch alone.

Medicine Hat is always being left behind. It's like we don't exist. Keep our dispatch people here working.

Instead of the powers that be looking at only the bottom line, maybe they should look at what the area really needs

It breeds a much better atmosphere in relations with people, who like local and personalized services, and there is more willingness to support them.

]]> Sun, 16 Aug 2009 09:31:30 UTC 6061696 Ms Loretta Fix [Signature #1395] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6058572?utm_medium=rss I request that Alberta Health Services re-examine their descision to relocate Ambulance Dispatch Services to Calgary from Medicine Hat.
It is an extremely unfair position.
It is my opinion that moving Ambulance Dispatch Services to Calgary is detrimental to our region. We want our Ambulance Dispatch Services to remain in Medicine Hat.

We have enough population in the Medicine Hat area to warrant it being handled through here. Calgary has enough to deal with in dealing with their EMS service. I feel that it would be putting to much pressure on the Calgary service and that it would effect service throughout both areas. I want the EMS service to handled through here.

]]> Fri, 14 Aug 2009 01:24:39 UTC 6053497 Mr Horace O'Bear [Signature #1392] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6053484?utm_medium=rss I don't feel that our EMS service should be handled through Medicine Hat and feel that the quality of service would be severely compromised if handled through Calgary.

The Medicine Hat Ambulance dispatchers that are here know the area very well and can dispatch accordingly. Sending this service to a bigger center and hiring out of town people is ridiculous.

With this knowledge dispatchers can answer an emergency call well informed and direct the police, firefighters, or ambulance to it's proper location more effienciently than Calgary. As the World's best dispatching center I would hate to see such life saving resources simply because someone wants to save money. This place saves LIVES.

I truly fear that the detriment to the emergency ambulance service would be huge if our dispatch for ambulance was moved to Calgary.

Not everything needs to be in Calgary and Edmonton. The only reason for the change is cost the government thinks it's cheaper to be centralized in the big city they can operate the system cheaper out of 2 centers I Guess We need an Election

we should start a class action suit for the deliberate endangerment of the lives of the citizens of medicine hat & area, especially since our hospital is the by the alberta government designated REGIONAL hospital.

this move gives privatisation patronage a whole new meaning.

Medicine Hat services a large area and would not benefit from dispatching out of Calgary where wait times would most definitely be longer for response to emergencies. We have a very efficient and well trained staffed emergency dept here that should continue to do their jobs. We do not need more unemployed people.

I work for a senior facility that is well known and we call for an ambulance daily. Answers do not have to be given in such detail to to an unknown operator in Edmonton. The Medicine Hat dispatch units know where our facility is and they dispatch that, which makes it easier for the Ambulance to get here in a timely fashion.

We are a big enough city we need our own dispatch!!

Calgary's response time is so long, would this not increase the response time experienced by Hatters and increase the mortality rates. Give your heads a shake and leave things alone that you have no idea about, better yet isn't it time you gave yourselves another raise and got rid of more jobs. Health care in this province is now a joke.

Why always ruin a good thing....it is clear that our city and surrounding areas is growing and is in such need of these services......Medicine Hat has become the center for alot of needed services and yet we seem to always get cut backs??? Hmmmm, sure makes you wonder?

Many people put hard work into this over the years and now somebody wants to destroy this service? I am outraged.

Do the citizens of Medicine Hat diserve this kind of treatment? No, definitely NOT! Alberta Health Services might just as well change their name to Alberta Health Diservices because this is indeed what they are offering. If one of them had a family member or a friend in Medicine Hat, I would bet things would be different. Shape up and reconsider now
