There is a strike by nurses but Hatzalah is still here!

It's the end of summer & the start of the new academic year.
We met with the new Residence Advisors (RAs) for the Wilf and Beren Campuses of YU to orient them to medical emergencies and Hatzalah operations.

Tonight an ambulance broke down while transporting a lightning strike victim to Jersey Shore. With no ambulances nearby Hatzolah stepped up and transported the patient.

However, they are always available for everyone no matter what religion, skin color, anything. Tonight, you deserve recognition. Thank you for all you do. God bless. 🇺🇸
