Exchange Ambulance of the Islips

Exchange Ambulance of the Islips Proving EMS to the residents of Islip, East Islip, Islip Terrace and Great River since 1951.

We respond to approximately 3,700 calls a year for emergency medical assistance. Our district stretches from Connetquot Avenue in Great River to Saxon Avenue in Islip and from the South Shore to Spur Drive on the north end including all of Hecksher State Park and parts of Connetquot State Park, 2 school districts, and 4 fire districts. Calls for emergency medical assistance are answered by our fiv

e New York State Department of Health Certified ambulances and two First Response vehicles. Besides answering calls for emergency medical assistance, Exchange Ambulance also provides “standby” EMS services for special events such as concerts, sporting events, and other large gatherings of people. Our Special Operations vehicle is equipped with large amounts of supplies and specialized equipment to handle these “standby’s” as well as large numbers of injuries in the event of a large scale disaster. An EMS Bike Patrol unit and All Terrain Vehicles assist us in providing medical care in any situation, be it a crowded concert or parade or a remote wooded area. Due to our specialized equipment and experience in handling theses types of events, Exchange Ambulance has been called upon to provide our assistance for large scale events throughout Suffolk County.

Yesterday, Exchange Ambulance responded to a mutual aid request from CIHVA to the scene of a working commercial structure fire in Central Islip.

Our rehab unit, 3-27-1, and an ambulance, 3-27-16, responded to provide firefighter rehabilitation and EMS support as needed for the incident.

When our neighbors call, we’re always ready to answer.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ex-Chief Leigh Anderson.

Chief Anderson dedicated countless years of service, leadership, and commitment to Exchange Ambulance and the communities we proudly serve. His years of service and friendship touched countless lives and will never be forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kathy, a fellow Life Member of Exchange Ambulance, and their family and friends during this time.

Rest easy, Chief.

Arrangements to follow.
