American Medical Response (AMR) has significantly improved ambulance availability in Multnomah County, reducing "Level 0" incidents from over 20 hours weekly in August to about 25 minutes by late October. This change follows a staffing remodel, with AMR hiring 65 EMTs and 14 paramedics. The county also adjusted staffing requirements and waived some fines, contributing to a 20% drop in late emergency responses, particularly in Gresham.
