MENASHA, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — An ambulance service in Northeast Wisconsin is working to address the community’s growing need and is already looking to the future when demands might be even higher.
Gold Cross Ambulance Service, Inc. broke ground on a roughly $4 million facility Monday in Menasha.
The company bought the land 12 years ago, expecting demand to grow. And it certainly did.
In the past five years, Gold Cross’s dispatch center has been receiving over 5,000 more calls.
“So, five years ago we were about 22,000 calls that our demand was for, and now we have gone up 5,000 calls in the last five years,” said Operations Director Nick Romenseko. “So, the demand is certainly growing.”
The new administrative facility will allow Gold Cross to transform its current headquarters into a training center. The company will also be able to expand its dispatch center.
Romenseko says Gold Cross anticipates the project being complete in October.
