Osceola Mayor Joe Harris Jr. says his priority is ensuring that residents have access to first-class EMS.
“I am very, very pleased, and look forward to working with Pafford,” Harris said. “I feel as if they are going to offer us a top-notch service.”
Harris said a single provider will simplify coordination for the city, but his priority is ensuring Osceola gets the best possible EMS, a standard he believes Pafford meets.
“Everything that we can get, we want it here in Osceola. Pafford, being a first-class service, I know the citizens will be happy,” he said.
