Hatzolah of Queens and Great Neck recently welcomed a new group of volunteer EMT first responders, marking another important milestone in the organization’s ongoing commitment to lifesaving emergency care throughout Queens and Great Neck.
Following months of intensive training and certification, the newly qualified EMTs officially joined the ranks of Hatzolah, receiving their emergency response equipment and preparing to begin active duty.

Each of these volunteers has committed to answering emergency calls at all hours—often leaving family obligations, work responsibilities, and personal time—to respond when seconds matter most. Their willingness to serve reflects the core values upon which Hatzolah was built: dedication, professionalism, cultural sensitivity, and an unwavering sense of communal responsibility.
As Queens and Great Neck continue to grow, the need for rapid, skilled emergency medical response grows alongside it. The addition of these EMTs strengthens Hatzolah’s ability to maintain swift response times while upholding the highest standards of pre-hospital care.
The Queens Jewish Link joins Hatzolah’s leadership in expressing sincere appreciation to the new EMTs, as well as to their families whose quiet support makes this vital volunteer service possible.
