This was a great opportunity to meet with leaders from around New York State to discuss the state of EMS in our area and the challenges we face everyday. Healthy discussions like this hopefully lead to long term sustainable solutions. Thank you for everyone who was able to participate. 🚑🚑🚑🚑

Hatzalah EMS organized a Rural EMS Legislative Tour this past week. They invited several upstate and downstate Assembly and Senate members, including our own Paula Kay and Peter Oberacker. Eric Ball from Congressman Josh Riley's office attended as well. District 6 County Legislator (and Public Safety Committee Chair) Luis Alvarez attended, as did Deputy Public Safety Commissioner for EMS Alex Rau. The tour began at Rock Hill ambulance station to see firsthand the challenges facing rural EMS, followed by a town hall session at the County's Emergency Services Training Center. Several EMS captains and leaders participated, as well.

Always reinvesting in solutions to provide the best possible care. Livingston Manor EMS has invested in StarLink in their ambulances. This will help tackle connectivity issues in remote areas in their district and Sullivan County. Great job to their team for bringing this technology to their agency! 🚑🚑🚑

The challenges of providing EMS in a rural community are real—but we adapt, innovate, and find ways to overcome them.

You may notice a new addition to our ambulances: Starlink! 🛰️🚑

This technology will give Livingston Manor EMS the ability to stay connected in the far reaches of our district—including Lew Beach, Willowemoc, Turnwood, DeBruce, and beyond, where traditional cellular service can be limited or unavailable.
That connectivity means more than just having internet. It can help us:
• Transmit 12-lead EKG information to the hospital
• Improve access to electronic medical records and other critical information
• Enable Wi-Fi calling when cellular service isn't available
• Maintain communication with medical control and dispatch when we need it most
• Access additional resources and technology that support patient care in the field

It's just another tool in our toolbox—but it's an important one. Rural EMS comes with unique challenges. We’re proud to leverage the latest technology to better serve our community, wherever the call takes us.

🚑 Livingston Manor EMS — adapting, innovating, and keeping our community connected.

Sullivan County EMS Providers:
🚨We Need Your Help🚨

The Join Sullivan EMS Task Force will be at the Sullivan County Bagel Festival on Sunday, August 9, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Broadway in Monticello.

We are asking current EMTs, paramedics, drivers, firefighters, agency leaders, and other EMS volunteers from across Sullivan County to help staff the Join Sullivan EMS tent.

You do not need to stay for the entire event. We will schedule flexible shifts throughout the day.

Volunteers will help:

• Greet community members
• Distribute recruitment information
• Answer questions about volunteering and training
• Share their personal EMS experiences
• Encourage the next generation of Sullivan County EMS volunteers

The most effective people to promote volunteer EMS are the providers who already serve their communities. Your experience, perspective, and enthusiasm can make a real difference.
