“Lately we are renovating those houses for the district administrative offices where we would have meetings, but also the operational ambulance parts, which will come with a new 911 media that will also come with a billing medium as we will be doing our own billing,” Hooten said. “The assets will also come with an implementation middleArray . . . and an on-site fleet maintenance facility. Constructions will be carried out in stages. Phase 1 of this redesign also includes a new communications center and an administrative aspect as a fleet deployment and maintenance center. »
Phase 2 of the structure will come with more structures such as car wash and more administrative offices. Construction of Phase 1 is expected to be completed on August 16. The total allocation is expected to be $20 million.
The district is also buying 40 new ambulances that are more environmentally friendly and will reduce the carbon footprint of ESD 11 MHS, Hooten said.
“They will be very similar to the ambulances you see today and are a little forged, as they are all gasoline rather than diesel,” Hooten said. “Gasoline is a little less expensive than diesel. They will also be hybrid, so ambulances will also have electrical parts that will allow them, when parked in hospitals or parked in certain places, to close and run out.
ESD 11 MHS plans to have at least 18 to 19 trucks on the road in its daily service domain, with 28 ambulances at peak times.

All ambulances will be in position on September 1.
With regard to recruitment, Hooten stated that CCEMS workers had guaranteed employment because of their existing experience and profession as EMS workers, as well as insurance and pension plans.
“In fact, we focus on employees, looking to give them the most productive device and the most productive environment to be able to make the paintings they make,” Hooten said. “Our medical director is a gentleman from The Woodlands, Dr. Casey Patrick, who was associate medical director of the County Hospital District, will be our permanent medical director.
With 1,500 applicants for their 12 staff vacancies, Hooten said ESD 11 MHS had one purpose in mind: to keep EMS facilities consistent, if not them.
“There is no explanation as to why think it will ever disappear, ” said Hooten. “Many of those other people have been close and expensive to my career. We want to find a way to build on this legacy, not destroy it. “
