Broward Sets June 9 Hearing on E Care Ambulance COPCN Awards
The Broward County Commission is being asked to adopt a resolution directing the County Administrator to publish notice of a public hearing scheduled for June 9, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., in Room 422 of Governmental Center East. The hearing will consider awarding E Care Ambulance, Inc. both a Class 2 Advanced Life Support Transfer Certificate and a Class 3 Basic Life Support Transport Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity.
What this means for you
Attorneys representing competing ambulance operators, healthcare clients, or any party with a stake in the Broward COPCN market have a firm deadline: the June 9, 2026 public hearing is the designated intervention point to contest or comment on E Care Ambulance's dual-certificate application. The notice publication triggered by this resolution starts the clock for any procedural challenges, competing applications, or formal objections that must be filed before or at that hearing. If this consent item passes as expected on April 28, the notice process is formally underway and informal opposition windows begin closing. Bottom Line: Calendar June 9, 2026 immediately and advise any client operating in Broward's EMS market to prepare written objections or supporting submissions before that hearing date.
