A longtime firefighter and ambulance official is taking the local helm for Falck USA, with the City Council slated to approve major contract changes Monday.
San Diego’s struggling ambulance provider has appointed a new leader for its local operations, just before major changes to its contract are set to put more ambulances on the street for more hours.
Goward, a 10-year Falck employee, has served as the company’s No. 2 local official. Behm, who is leaving the company, has led its San Diego operations since Falck took over ambulance service in the city in November 2021.Poor emergency response times and the deployment of fewer ambulances than promised have frustrated city officials and prompted the new contract the City Council is scheduled to approve Monday.
Falck would no longer face steep fines for falling short on ambulance hours and response times, but the company would be required to subcontract with a second ambulance provider to boost service.“I have a great deal of respect for paramedics and EMTs who respond whenever and wherever people need emergency medical assistance, and I’m honored by the opportunity to lead the Falck team serving the city of San Diego,” Goward said in a news release.
