March of 2021 - Contract was up for votes (FB not updated after that)
Jun 2021 News

United Medical Response - Division 5 - Mt Vernon FB

UMR is the ambulance provider for the cities of Salem as well as Marion with operations in Centralia and Herrin.
Jun 2021 - United Medical Response, LLC (UMR) purchased land from the Jefferson County Health Department to build a new EMS response facility in Mt. Vernon.

The new 8,000+ square foot facility in Mt. Vernon would become a central hub for UMR inside their entire service area. County Board Chairman Cliff Lindemann says that a current 3-year contract with Litton Ambulance Service, Inc. as the sole company for 911 services is set to expire in July of this year. He wanted to begin the discussion to possibly refine the contract when UMR introduced themselves at the February County Board meeting. Monday, the County Board unanimously approved a recommendation from a Services Committee meeting, which took place last Thursday, to remain with one ambulance service for their 911 calls.
