Description
June 13, 2023 on The Story: Several times now we've dug into the chronic delays plaguing ambulances in Multnomah County, which provider American Medical Response has blamed on staffing shortages and high standards at the county.

There have been thousands of these incidents in Multnomah County within the past six months.
