Gentlemen:
Please accept this request for a rate increase, for you understand
in today's inflation it is impossible to hold prices with the cost of
manpower, fuel and supplies used going up almost on a daily basis. We
have a responsibility to the people we serve to provide the best quality
service to the sick and injured that is humanly possible. To keep a
high standard today, we must keep current with our equipment and man-
power. Paramedics are professional personnel trained to the highest
competency of all state and county levels of emergency field medicine.
To keep the professional paramedic, we must compensate them for their
knowledge, skills and time so that we do not lose quality trained per-
sonnel to other cities.
With all of these demands upon the company, we find it necessary
to request an inflation increase to our present rate structure. A cost
projection of 23% inflationary raise would enable us to stay at a level
of professional service that our community now enjoys. This still would
bring us below the state average of cost of service, but place us high
in quality for the services the people receive. As arrays, we will do
all possible to hold cost to the best interest of the people we serve -
I
f you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at my
office.
Sincerely,
