Plaistow considers grant to support new ambulance service as Exeter Hospital cuts services
wmur.com —
Plaistow is considering a grant to help fund a new advanced life support ambulance service. This comes as existing services from Exeter Hospital are set to end in March due to planned cuts under new ownership. Town leaders will meet to discuss the grant, as Plaistow relies on Exeter's services for severe medical emergencies. The attorney general's office is involved to ensure continued service under the sale agreement with Beth Israel Lahey Health. The contract with Exeter Hospital is still set to expire in March, leaving Plaistow and nearby areas without 24-hour ambulance resources. The Plaistow Board of Selectmen meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m.
