April 1986 was a busy month for the struggle to establish a countywide Advanced Life Support Program. It required community support and editorial efforts from the Talbot Banner and Star Democrat. Here the Talbot Banner weighed in to the efforts.

April 1986…TALBOT SAYS NO TO PARAMEDICS! 40 years ago:
It was a struggle to get Talbot County to fund and support a county Advanced Life Support program. Talbot County wouldn’t even allow us to place the county shield on ALS vehicles and forced the volunteers to obtain our nonprofit designation in order to receive the funds the county eventually did provide. More on that later, but for now the answer was “NO!”
This ongoing struggle provided the incentive for a group of leading citizens to put form the Talbot Paramedic Foundation.

Forty years ago…
In March of 1986 Talbot was struggling to launch their advanced life support program. County officials balked at funding the volunteers and even declined to let the group display the county seal on the medic unit. Advocates were instructed to obtain a nonprofit status and forced to beg for funds. Eventually the county approved $25k to start the program to create the first dedicated countywide ALS program on the Eastern Shore.

FEBRUARY-MARCH 1986! Forty years ago Talbot County was working through a proposal put forth by an Advanced Life Support Committee of the Talbot County Firemen’s Association with the intent to create a countywide ALS service staffed by volunteers. At the same time there was a second class of ALS students training at the hospital with representatives from every volunteer fire department in Talbot. There was a push to get funding approved by the Talbot County Council. More on that later…
