Implementation Plans
FY 2023-2024 Plan
The implementation plan for Gulf County, has been allocated $150,114 in rollover funding from year 1 to be used in year 2 for the purchase of an ambulance. This expenditure is aimed at enhancing the county’s emergency medical services, specifically targeting the response to opioid overdoses or related adverse events. The funding will be reimbursed in subsequent years to offset the cost of the ambulance purchase.
The core strategy involves supporting emergency medical systems, including peer support specialists, to connect individuals to treatment or other appropriate services following an opioid-related incident. The service providers or vendors for this project will be selected through a competitive procurement process. The scope of work detailed in the plan emphasizes the importance of the ambulance purchase in facilitating mobile intervention for overdose patients, thereby connecting them to necessary services such as hospital emergency departments.
Gulf County, described as a small, rural, and fiscally constrained area, aims to leverage this funding opportunity to address its financial shortfalls in providing optimal emergency medical services. The overarching goal is to improve access to care for overdose patients and increase the likelihood of these individuals seeking further treatment or care in hospital settings.
