The Congers-Valley Cottage Volunteer Ambulance Corps is made up of a diverse group of people who share one unifying trait: the desire to help other people. This trait leads us to dedicate a portion of our free time to learning EMS skills and practicing them until we are the best we can be, and then serving on an ambulance crew to use our skills to help our neighbors when they are sick or injured. It’s hard work, sometimes dangerous and always unpredictable. But none of us would trade it for the world; the rewards – the feeling we get when someone injured in an accident or who is deathly ill gets to the hospital alive and with a better chance to stay alive because of what we’ve done – are worth all the time and effort we spend a hundred times over and more. It’s a great feeling, knowing you’ve made a difference, maybe even saved a life. It’s a feeling you can share when you volunteer with the CVCVAC.
And here are some of the other exceptional people who give just that much more…
