We have SO MUCH to celebrate today! 🎉🚑

Congratulations to our member, Nicholas Rivenburg, on successfully completing his New York State EMT Practical Exam today!

The NYS EMT program is an intensive 180-hour course consisting of approximately three months of classroom instruction, hands-on training, and field internships. Completing this milestone is a tremendous accomplishment.

Way to go, Nick! We’re very proud of you! 👏

A huge congratulations to our members, Sergeant Mark Valezquez and his son, Kade Valezquez, on earning their New York State Advanced EMT (AEMT) Certification this week!

As Advanced EMTs, they are now trained/certified to bridge the gap between basic EMT and paramedic care. In addition to providing all standard EMT services, AEMTs are qualified to perform select Advanced Life Support (ALS) skills, including starting IVs, administering certain emergency medications, and utilizing advanced airway adjuncts.

Congratulations, Mark and Kade! We are incredibly proud of both of you! We wish you luck as you continue your education to the Paramedic Level.

And last, but certainly not least, congratulations to our fearless leader, Captain Ralph Bressler, on being awarded BLS Provider of the Year! 🏆

This prestigious honor recognizes an Emergency Medical Technician who has demonstrated outstanding dedication to the community through professionalism, responsibility, leadership, innovation, and exceptional service in the EMS environment.

Congratulations, Ralph, on this well-deserved recognition!!!

To Nick, Mark, Kade, and Ralph, thank you for your commitment, hard work, and dedication to serving our community. We are honored to have each of you as part of our team and couldn’t be prouder of your accomplishments.

Congratulations to all!

We truly appreciate the kindness and generosity of our community. We know that some people leave medical equipment at our building with the best intentions, hoping it can help someone else.

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept or store donated medical equipment. Please do not leave wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, shower chairs, or any other medical equipment at our building.

While we understand these donations are made with good intentions, we do not have the ability to distribute or repurpose them. As a result, any equipment left at our building must be taken to the local landfill for disposal, which is something we’d much rather avoid.

Thank you for your understanding, your cooperation, and your continued support. We truly appreciate this amazing community.
