Organization Details

The Whitestone Community Volunteer Ambulance Service is an all volunteer emergency ambulance service that serves the Whitestone, Queens, NY area. Whitestone Community Volunteer Ambulance is looking for community minded individuals to volunteer as Dispatchers, Drivers and Attendants. Members who volunteer as attendants have the opportunity to become certified (training provided) as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) which will enable them to work in the EMS field in the public/private sector. A great opportunity for a young person starting out or a career change to the health field. Ideal for students studying medicine or for those needing community service credit. We are certified by the NYS Health Department as a Basic Life Support ambulance service, staffed by NYS certified Emergency Medical Technicians. We respond to calls in a modern, fully equipped ambulance complimented with a defibrillator for the sudden cardiac arrest patient and Albuterol for the asthmatic in distress.

We provide wheelchairs, walkers, crutches and canes free of charge to the Whitestone Community.

Blood Pressure Screening is also available free of charge to the community. Just come to our building and any of our volunteers would be happy to assist you.

With prior notice, the Corps will have its ambulance standby at your community event in Whitestone (sporting events,parades, block-party,etc.).
