title: Mat-Su Borough EMS.
abstract: With a combination of local borough funds, state grant funds, and fees for service, the Mat-Su Borough has developed a modern, state-of-the-art EMS system, utilizing volunteers, which responded to over 2200 emergency calls in 1987, a 56% increase in calls over 1983. As a result, citizens and visitors in the Mat-Su Borough have a much better chance of surviving a medical emergency than they did a few short years ago.
