Who We Are

Neighbors, Responding to Neighbors

The Faist Volunteer Ambulance Corps plays a vital role in Rockland County's multi-tiered emergency medical system. When a 911 call comes in, our members respond around the clock — providing immediate primary care and transport, working alongside Rockland Paramedic Services for advanced life support when it's needed.

We volunteer our personal time, responding to calls alongside the police, fire departments, and paramedics who serve this community. We've been doing it for nearly 50 years.
