) - An ambulance company made its case Tuesday to enter the market here at a time of declining response times, but its would-be competitors insisted there are enough already.

“Can we make a difference in Mobile?” Hughes told council members. “We’re not gonna change the world. There’s still gonna be personnel issues. We’re going to have to be as creative as everyone else is getting ambulances on the road.”“In this case, more is better,” he said. Newman’s CEO Kenny Newman, whose company started in Mobile in 1939 and is the second-oldest private ambulance company in the country, told council members that the company dropped from 125 to 75 employees after the virus hit and is up only about five since then.Officials from the private companies told FOX10 News that they struggle to stay profitable, relying on reimbursements from insurance companies and government programs, which largely are static.

Terence Ramotar, regional director of Lifeguard, said his company has taken a number of steps to expand the workforce, including an “Earn While You Learn” training program that pays new hires while they study to become certified medics. Still, he told FOX10 News, Lifeguard only can operate fewer than half of its 24 ambulances in Mobile because of staffing shortages.
