At the May 15, 2003 meeting of the State of Georgia Region III EMS Council, MetroAtlanta Ambulance President/CEO Pete Quinones was elected to serve as Chairman for a third consecutive term.
The Regional EMS Council was established and given the authority by the Georgia State Legislature to designate a public or nonprofit local entity to coordinate and administer the regional ambulance zoning plan, provide the guidance for developing the regional emergency medical services communications plan, make recommendations for the designation of base station facilities, make recommendations for the designation of trauma centers and to serve in an advisory capacity to the State Department of EMS. The District III EMS Council serves eight metro Atlanta counties including, Cobb, Douglas, Fulton, Dekalb, Gwinnett, Newton, Clayton, and Rockdale.
The council is composed of individuals who are both knowledgeable and interested in the emergency medical services system and representative of the interest of a broad cross-section of the health district's citizens including consumers, private health care providers, public health care providers, and governmental entities.
Quinones stated, ?It is an honor to be elected by my peers to serve as the Chairman of this Council and I look forward to working with each of them to continually enhance the quality of life, health and safety of the communities we are here to serve.?
