Sumter ambulance provider files for bankruptcy - Daily Commercial: News (http://www.dailycommercial.com/news/article_aad89181-c1b8-5b54-bf8b-b700e84ce1f2.html)
snippets from the article:
'The company filed Chapter 11 petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, intending to use the process to significantly reduce its debt, renegotiate unprofitable contracts, and free up capital for investments to strengthen its business and further improve patient care, company CEO Scott A. Bartos said in a statement.'
'Operations are expected to continue as normal throughout the bankruptcy process and Rural/Metro anticipates completing its restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2013.'
'On June 25 of this year, the Sumter County Commission extended its original two-year contract with Rural/Metro for another five years, effective Sept. 1. The original contract included a subsidy from the county for $1.52 million a year, which was reduced to $990,000 a year under the new contract because the company intends to increase user fees to keep them in line with surrounding counties, county documents show.'
