WHITNEY, Texas (KXXV) – A couple dozen workers are out of a job and this weekend Whitney is relying on ambulance service miles away. They’ve been working for 42 years and on Friday afternoon, the Lake Whitney Medical Center EMS closed its doors. Director Jimmy Hoskins even gave his final call just after 5 o’clock while his fellow workers and family fought back tears in the background.
