Two Great Volunteer Ambulance Corps

August 5, 2015 by The Inside Press

chapp ambulanceFor more than 75 years, the Chappaqua Volunteer Ambulance Corps has provided emergency care to those who visit, live, or work in New Castle. Today’s volunteers are your neighbors–teachers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, parents, and grandparents. CVAC responds to more than 500 calls annually attending to medical emergencies that include everything from falls and illness to motor vehicle accidents. Volunteers respond to a wide variety of 911 calls, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Calls include at home accidents or illnesses, motor vehicle accidents, and any form of medical emergency in our district. Sometimes the patient may decline the ambulance but most times we transport the patient to an emergency room for further medical care. On some calls, paramedics arrive to assume patient care, and we assist them. To volunteer, no experience or background in emergency care is necessary or required; training is free and provided by CVAC.
