Officials from DeKalb County, the city of Brookhaven and American Medical Response met recently to discuss the new Emergency Medical Services hub on Buford Highway.

The hub provides a local station where EMS personnel can change shifts and keep the ambulances closer to their service area in north DeKalb County and includes:

· A training room for programs and community education offerings

· A deployment center for six new ambulances

· An AMR on-duty supervisor, who will be stationed out of the Brookhaven hub.

The Brookhaven Station (DeKalb County) is located at 3292 Buford Highway, Brookhaven.
