(KLZXA)-- During the May 2 Pawnee County Commissioners meeting, Pawnee County Rural Hospital Administrator John Werner and EMS Coordinator Jason Turnbull met with the Board updating them on the ambulance fleet.

The hospital is researching ways to obtain $370 thousand in funding for two new units to replace older ones.

The hospital will receive $75 thousand from the State of Nebraska if they receive $105 thousand in donations by the end of 2023.
