There is positive movement on the EMS Four project, which would combine the towns of Manitowish Waters, Winchester, Boulder Junction and Presque Isle into one emergency medical services district . The formation of the district has been in the works since 2021, because currently, the closed hospitals to each of the four towns take almost an hour to have EMS respond to an emergency call. Three of the four towns have already signed resolutions to join the district, and its thought Winchester will soon make the fourth. Each town has already appointed a member to sit on the districts board and oversight committee. The next step will be to hire a service director for the new district.
