ROCKPORT, Maine — People in the Camden area face a big change as of Monday — after more than 70 years, they have a new ambulance service.
Northeast Mobile Health Service has taken over emergency ambulance service for Camden, Rockport, Hope and Lincolnville as of midnight July 1.
The towns voted last month to make the change because the subsidy to continue operating the non-profit Camden First Aid Association (CFAA) became unaffordable. CFAA announced last fall it was facing severe financial problems for a variety of reasons, and would need to increase the $58,000 annual operating subsidy it received from the towns.
