Mineola Volunteer Ambulance Corps

09/11/2026

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the extraordinary courage of the first responders who ran toward danger when others were running away.

We remember the 2,977 lives lost, including the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS professionals, and countless everyday heroes whose bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

As members of the EMS community, we carry their legacy with us every time we answer the call and serve our neighbors.

25 years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

🚨 GUESS WHO’S BACK… MEET THE MEMBER MONDAY! 🚨

It’s been a little while, but we’re bringing back one of our favorite series — because the people behind the patch are what make MVAC, MVAC. 🚑💙

And kicking off our return is Jio!

Jio joined us 3 years ago with one goal: gain hands-on experience in patient care as he works toward a future career in medicine. Coming from a family of healthcare professionals, medicine was already in his blood — but MVAC gave him the chance to experience it firsthand.

Three years later, he’s become one of those members you can find around HQ at just about any hour. 😂 Whether he’s spending the afternoon with our paid staff, jumping on calls, or holding down one of our overnight crews, Jio has made MVAC his home away from home.

And that’s really what his story is about. He came for the experience, but somewhere between the calls, late nights, laughs, and friendships, he found a community. ❤️

When he finally leaves HQ, Jio keeps moving — usually at the gym, out for a run, or hanging out with his sister and fellow MVAC member, Lynn. 🏋️‍♂️🏃‍♂️

We couldn’t think of a better way to bring Meet the Member Monday back!

👏 Three years down and hopefully many more to go. Thanks for everything you bring to our crews and our community, Jio!
