Dear Editor,
The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation wishes to respond to a statement made in the Thursday, November 19, 2009 edition of your newspaper with the caption ‘Bel Air man beaten and chopped.’ The statement read, “The woman [Deen’s mother] said several calls to get an ambulance to take her son to the hospital went unanswered…”
However, we must first apologize for the late response, which is due to the fact that we always investigate incidents thoroughly before a comment is issued.
At this point, we wish to state that the Ambulance Service telephone number – 913 is currently out of order. Efforts are being made to rectify this problem.
Please be advised that the numbers to call for GPHC’s Ambulance Service are: 225-3361 and 226-9449.
GPHC apologizes for any inconvenience this disruption has caused.
Yours faithfully,
A Proctor (MS)
