Overview

Mission

Provide ambulance services for the towns of Jonesport and Beals Maine

What it reported doing in 2024

Moosabec Ambulance Service provides ambulance services to Jonesport and Beals Maine. They transport those needing medical care to hospitals in Machias Ellsworth and Bangor. They are usually the first on the scene for car accident drug overdoses and other medical emergencies in the area. Without the availability of local service the response time would be much longer.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and some filed totals do not add up.
