PROJECT: N/A
PURPOSE: On March 31, 2025, Orange County’s Office of the Medical Director/EMS Division received an application from DDD Enterprises LLC. d/b/a Care Medical Transportation (“Care Medical”) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide interfacility basic life support transport services in Orange County.
In accordance with Section 20-95 of the Orange County Code, Orange County’s Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council (EMSAC) met on May 28, 2025, to evaluate the countywide emergency medical services system and review Care Medical’s application. At the conclusion of the meeting, EMSAC found that the issuance of an additional COPCN is not in the interest of the public convenience and necessity and voted to recommend that the Board deny Care Medical’s application. On July 8, 2025, Orange County EMS submitted a memorandum to the Board also recommending denial of Care Medical’s application. Copies of EMS’ recommendation and EMSAC’s Report and Recommendation are attached.
