Clear Creek EMS, like many of its counterparts along the Front Range and across the state, is seeing a critical shortage in paramedics, which is leading to a loss of knowledge and experience among paramedics, Chief Paramedic Nicolena Johnson said.
While Clear Creek EMS and agencies like it are able to recruit EMTs, Johnson told the county commissioners during an April 16 work session that paramedics are able to find jobs with fire departments and emergency rooms at much more competitive salaries.
