The Walker County Messenger

HUTCHESON, Ga. — Hutcheson officials announced the donation of their fleet of nine ambulances to Catoosa, Dade and Walker counties and one smaller unit to Northwestern Technical College.

The ambulances were donated after Hutcheson made the decision to discontinue its ambulance service this past December.

“We made the decision to discontinue our service for what we felt was best for patient care and for financial viability of the hospital. Now by providing these ambulances to the counties, we believe a more extensive service can be available for the communities we serve. We want to help with the transition of the service as much as we can,” said Charles Stewart, Hutcheson president and chief executive officer.
