Broward Sets June 9 Hearing on 3 EMS COPCNs for Elite Medical Response
Broward County Commission is set to adopt a resolution directing the County Administrator to publish notice of a public hearing on June 9, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 422 of Governmental Center East. The hearing will consider awarding three Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity — Class 2 ALS Transfer, Class 3 BLS Transport, and Class 5 ALS Specialty Transport — to Positive Mobility, LLC, d/b/a Elite Medical Response.
What this means for you
Attorneys representing competing EMS providers or healthcare clients holding existing COPCNs should calendar June 9, 2026 as the formal intervention point — that hearing is the last practical opportunity to challenge or comment on the certificate awards before the Commission acts. Any affected party must be prepared with standing arguments and evidentiary support by that date, as the notice-publication resolution signals the County is moving toward approval. Bottom Line: File any formal objection or request for party status in the June 9 COPCN proceeding well before that hearing date — the publication of notice starts the clock on intervention rights.

Broward Sets June 9 Hearing on EMS Transport Licenses for Elite Medical Response
Broward County Commission is directing staff to publish notice of a public hearing on June 9, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., in Room 422 of Governmental Center East, to consider awarding three emergency medical transport certificates — Class 2 ALS Transfer, Class 3 BLS Transport, and Class 5 ALS Specialty Transport — to Positive Mobility, LLC, doing business as Elite Medical Response. The hearing is the next procedural step before any certificate is formally granted.
What this means for you
Medical transport operators and competing EMS providers should note the June 9, 2026, hearing as the formal opportunity to submit comments or objections before Broward County grants Elite Medical Response the right to operate three classes of transport services in the county. Businesses in healthcare staffing, patient transport contracting, or facilities that rely on third-party ALS/BLS services may see a new licensed competitor enter the market. Bottom Line: EMS and healthcare-adjacent operators have until June 9, 2026, to weigh in at the public hearing before a new three-certificate transport provider gains county authorization.
