Medshore Ambulance Service showed off its newest ambulance serving Barnwell County at the monthly County Council meeting on June 13.

Medshore representatives offered commissioners a tour of the 2016 American-made Ford ambulance that was custom built and outfitted by Excellance. The ambulance will be stationed at Medshore’s permanent station located at the YMCA on Joey Zorn Boulevard.

We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this community, and we take seriously the trust that its residents place in us to provide the top level of medical transport.”
