Village transfers emergency calls to county

Starting in May, the Village of Grafton will have its emergency calls handled by Ozaukee County’s dispatch center after the Village Board approved the transfer of call-handling responsibilities on Monday.

The move comes after Aurora Health Care requested in February that the village enter into a mutual termination agreement, which will leave the village without a medical director for its Emergency Medical Dispatch program. The program provides dispatchers with a series of questions to determine the appropriate level of response in a medical emergency.
