Nyack Community Ambulance Corps is a volunteer organization in Rockland County. They are neighbors helping neighbors, giving time, energy and love to keep our community safe around the clock. Members’ ages range from young high school students in our Youth Corps, to men and women 60+ still actively responding to emergency calls or contributing in many other ways to the organization, which has been protecting and serving the historic Nyack Villages since 1939.
Members come from every profession, some with a background or future plans in medicine, but most with no medical experience or aspirations at all. Every active riding member is thoroughly trained, at corps expense, to the level required. Ongoing CME (Continuing Medical Education) classes and drills keep members certified and up to date in every aspect of emergency care.
They are your neighbors, your friends, your family, the person you just passed on the street. Theye work on Main Street, and on Wall Street. When the people they encounter thank them for their service, they feel proud, but also very grateful to have the training and the ability to respond in a crisis. Volunteering is a gift we give, and an even greater gift that we receive.Â
