The Hillsdale Volunteer Ambulance Service provides 100% free emergency medical response to Hillsdale residents and surrounding communities on a mutual aid basis 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our emergency calls can include: Cardiac arrests, strokes, automobile/motorcycle accidents, OB/GYN emergencies, allergic reactions, falls, diabetic emergencies, seizures, choking, high fever, flu, etc. We respond with unwavering resolve and we rapidly jump up to help our neighbors and protect the public – 24 hours per day/7 days per week, all as volunteers. We continue to be one of the busiest single ambulance agencies in the area with our call volume averaging 900 emergency requests in addition to countless standbys and special events! In 2020, we are celebrating our 66th year of service to Hillsdale and our surrounding Pascack Valley Community! Generations later, we’re still here looking out for all of our residents and visitors to the area alike. And as always, we have never billed a patient for our services. We DO NOT receive any Federal funding, so our volunteers can only continue to provide free pre-hospital care to you, your family and friends, and your neighbors because of your generous donations. We are an independent non-profit entity and, as such, we rely heavily on your support to fund our ambulance, equipment, training, and operating expenses. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to serving you and your families for years to come!

Thank you to all the community members that came out to the Hillsdale Fire Department and Hillsdale Ambulance Open House on Tuesday evening! We loved showing off the ambulance and interacting with the families of Hillsdale. We saw first hand how many kids enjoyed playing in the ambulance, getting on the firetrucks, trying on safety gear, spraying the fire hose, crawling through the smoke maze and more! There was fun and exciting things to do all throughout the night!

Special thanks to the Bergen County PSOC for participating in the evening too! Thank you to Anthony DeRosa for providing us with some great shots of the night too! Lastly, thank you to RV Volunteer Ambulance Corps for allowing our agency to borrow your ambulance for the evening so we could staff it with our volunteers and remain available for Hillsdale calls!

Remember parents… your children can play on the emergency vehicles anytime they want if you’re a member of our departments! Become an EMT or Firefighter today and make a difference in Hillsdale in one of the most unique and desperately needed ways!

From HVAS Cadet Dalton to USMA Cadet Dalton!

Chief Beatty and his family attended the Army Football game today and while they enjoyed watching the team bring home a huge 56-24 win over FAU, his daughters loved seeing HVAS EMT Sophia Dalton in action! Cadet Dalton is in her Plebe year at West Point majoring in American Politics and participating as a Cheerleader with the Rabble Rousers!

Paraphrasing from the USMA website, as a plebe, Cadet Dalton has stepped into a role that is both symbolic and demanding, where she’ll learn discipline, humility, resilience, and what it means to put the team before herself. This year is all about mastering the fundamentals and proving her character through action, not words. We hope Cadet Dalton is having a great first year expanding on her leadership skills, further developing her character and also enjoying her journey of service to our country that has just begun! We thank her for her service to our community and look forward to her continued service both to our community and to our country.

Hillsdale EMS was happy to support the Hillsdale Police Department’s 2nd Annual “I Pink I Can” Breast Cancer Walk throughout town today. The route was just short of 2 miles that still had a great turnout even with the rain. We are proud of all the walkers who wouldn’t let a little rain dampen their spirits! Thank you to the Hillsdale Police for organizing this great event and helping raise over $11,000 for the Tone Foundation. We also appreciate the support of the Bergen County EMS Special Operations Group for coming out to the walk and assisting with EMS coverage for the event.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR JOAN’S JOY! Hillsdale came together Oct. 3 for the 12th annual Joan’s Joy Child Safety Fest, celebrating community, childhood and a remarkable legacy of advocacy born from unimaginable loss. The festivities at the Joan Angela D’Alessandro White Butterfly Sculpture & Garden featured family fun, entertainment, raffles and the signature butterfly release. Among those lending a hand were these smiling members of Hillsdale EMS! The event carried forward Rosemarie D’Alessandro’s decadeslong mission to protect children and honor the memory of her daughter, Joan. We look forward to bringing you the full story in our next issue.

Tonight the Hillsdale Ambulance joined with 3 local fire departments for a live burn training at the Bergenfield Fire Training Center. Thank you to Hillsdale Fire for inviting us to provide rehab, medical support and also simultaneously allow us the training opportunity for our members. Our crews practiced establishing EMS Branch at the unified command post and responding appropriately to any changes in each simulation. Additionally, the River Vale Fire Department and Westwood Fire Department participated in the drill to enhance interagency operations for all in attendance.
