Please join us in congratulating Kira Pospesel, Greene County Commissioner of Social Services, recipient of the 2026 NYSAC Executive Director’s Award for Public Service!

Greene County EMS is helping make emergency care more accessible and comfortable with new sensory kits now available in transporting ambulances across the county.

The initiative was developed by Greene County EMS Coordinator Sean Hotaling to better support patients with autism, dementia, developmental disabilities, PTSD, anxiety and other sensory sensitivities. Each kit includes practical tools like noise-reducing headphones, communication cards, fidget tools, a dry-erase board and comfort items to help reduce anxiety, improve communication and create a calmer experience during emergency transport.

By equipping EMS providers with these resources, Greene County is helping ensure more compassionate, patient-centered care for individuals with a wide range of needs.

Lithium-ion batteries should never go in your household trash or recycling bin. When damaged or crushed, they can spark and ignite, creating dangerous fires in collection trucks, transfer stations and recycling facilities.

In fact, lithium-ion batteries are one of the fastest-growing fire risks in the waste stream, with fires that can burn extremely hot and be difficult to extinguish.

Help protect your home, local workers and our community by properly disposing of lithium-ion batteries at an approved collection location.
