Kern County Maddy Fund Request Form
On February 14th, 2019, the Assistant Director of Public Health reported to the Emergency Medical Care Advisory Board that EMS was releasing the discretionary portion of the MADDY Fund for, "Enhancements in the EMS system, as approved by your board." Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Enhancement as, "Heighten, Increase – Especially to increase or improve in value, quality, desirability, or attractiveness."
The intent of releasing the discretionary MADDY funds by the county is to heighten, increase and improve, from the normal and customary base operations, the delivery of prehospital care to the people of Kern County. This would include programs, services, training, equipment and/or learning materials that would have a high likely hood to improve the Kern County EMS System of care from its normal and customary base operations. The requested item, service or training must benefit all EMS stakeholders, especially the community at large, in such a way that it improves the quality and delivery of prehospital care.
