Calhoun EMS Profit & Loss Statements Cause More Questions

Calhoun EMS Director, Jason Wilson, has released the Profit & Loss Statements for the years 2019 through 2022 for the Calhoun EMS Agency. Although we appreciate the transparency that Wilson has gone above and beyond to show, those statements may raise more questions than answers. While I have warned Ridgeview readers on multiple occasions that “math” is not my forte, is profit not a good thing? From all appearances on the Statements each year 2019 through 2022, even with the un-billed runs from last year, Calhoun EMS showed a profit. Considerable profit.

My question would then be, why was the Calhoun EMS struggling? All four statements are listed below.
