My mother’s doctor told me to call her an ambulance to meet him at the hospital. Can I call 9-1-1?
A. Yes and No
You should ask the doctor if an emergency response is necessary. If so, always call 9-1-1. If not, you should contact a local ambulance company directly to schedule a pickup time.
This helps make sure that medical response resources are available in the city for emergency situations. If you are unsure of what to do, call 9-1-1.
