I believe they're on a 1 year trial basis. Hopefully this was just one of the calls that went bad. If they don't improve then the county meetins are the place to address your concerns.

If I remember correctly the decision was based on both money and quicker response times promised by Metro. Now if indeed Metro does provide better response times along with quality care then that is certainly a plus for our community. I hate to say it but this looks like a wait and see situation.
