Hatzolah EMS
« on: October 28, 2011, 02:13:18 AM »
I have seen a lot of the Hatzolah EMS in some of the photo slideshows. Just wanted to know a little about them. Are they Paid or Volunteer? Who dispatches them?  How are they notified of a run? What areas do they cover?

They are dispatched by their own dispatchers. They cater to the Ultra Orthodox Jewish communities in the city. I believe they are half volunteer/paid. They cover Williamsburg, Crown Heights, Midwood, they have a bus that sits on Lexington between 85 and 84. I also believe they have a pretty big presence in Rockland and Orange Counties.

There's also a Hatzolah unit that operates in Nassau County, on the south shore and into the Rockaways in Queens.  Here's a link to their web site:

And to the overall Hatzolah web site, that tells you where else they operate:

They are one of the largest volunteer EMS organizations in the world with divisions in the U.S. (NY, NJ, MD, PA, CT, FL, CA and IL), Canada, Mexico, England, Belgium, Switzerland, Russia, Austrailia, South Africa and of course...Israel.

They only respond to Jewish, I was on an MVA with them about a year ago, they took care of the Jewish people that were involved but the other care they would not touch. The other car had a serious injury. They were first on scene and once they found out one car was non Jewish people Hatzolah refused to treat and walked away.

Is EMT in NY issued/revoked by the state. Where is their duty to act and wouldn't it be abandonment like memory master said?
