肯塔基州路易斯维尔市：市府终止私人救护车合同 10个月省下200多万美元仍决定不再续约
位于美国肯塔基州杰斐逊县的路易斯维尔市，市政府决定终止与私人救护车公司 AmeriPro Health 的合作，尽管这项合作在10个月内为市府节省了200多万美元。
据《信使日报》11月13日报道，市府采购部门执行主任 Kevin Moore 于10月30日致函该公司，告知不再需要这项额外支援，而此时距离双方原定合同到期仅剩一天。双方的合同于2025年11月开始，为期12个月，旨在缓解本地急救系统（EMS）的压力。
AmeriPro 公司编制的21页报告显示，今年1月至10月，该公司救治了近8000名患者，响应了近10500次求助，其中约2500次在医护人员抵达前被取消；月均需求量上升了58%。
根据州法律，若由其他地方机构出车救治，市府须支付相应费用，相比之下，与 AmeriPro 的合作在10个月内为市府节省了200多万美元。公司方面表示，直到合同到期前36小时才得知不会续约。
市府方面未回应有关杰斐逊县每日需要多少救护单元的问题，临时急救主任也未接受采访。市府于2025年7月公开招标，24家公司投标，AmeriPro 于当年11月1日中标。（来源：《信使日报》）
Louisville, Kentucky: City Ends Private Ambulance Contract Despite Saving More Than $2 Million in 10 Months
Louisville, in Jefferson County, Kentucky, has decided to end its partnership with private ambulance company AmeriPro Health, even though the arrangement saved the city more than $2 million in 10 months.
According to the Courier Journal's November 13 report, Kevin Moore, the Metro Government's executive director of procurement, wrote to the company on October 30 saying the additional support was no longer needed, just one day before the original contract was set to expire. The 12-month contract began in November 2025 and was intended to relieve pressure on the local emergency medical services (EMS) system.
A 21-page report compiled by AmeriPro shows that from January to October this year, the company treated nearly 8,000 patients and responded to nearly 10,500 calls, about 2,500 of which were canceled before crews arrived; average monthly demand rose 58 percent.
Under state law, the city must pay when other local agencies respond and transport patients; by comparison, the AmeriPro partnership saved the city a little over $2 million in 10 months. The company said it learned only 36 hours before expiration that the contract would not be renewed.
The city did not respond to questions about how many ambulance units Jefferson County needs each day, and the interim EMS director declined an interview. The city issued a public bid in July 2025; 24 companies bid, and AmeriPro was awarded the contract on November 1 that year. (Source: Louisville Courier Journal)
