Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps (RVAC)

🚑🏆 Please join us in congratulating RVAC member Gavin McQuade on receiving the Legislative District 1 EMS Honoree Award!

Gavin’s dedication, leadership, and passion for serving others have already made a huge impact in his time with Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps. From responding to an incredible 315 calls in his first year, earning recognition as Top Responder and EMT of the Year, mentoring new members, and continuing his education in paramedicine — Gavin truly represents what EMS is all about.

Beyond RVAC, Gavin continues to serve and grow through his work with Stony Brook EMS and involvement with Civil Air Patrol, all while balancing school and service to others. His commitment to helping people and answering the call does not go unnoticed.

We are proud to have Gavin as part of the RVAC family and can’t wait to see what the future holds. Congratulations Gavin — this recognition is well deserved! 👏🚑💙

Tonight, we don’t say goodbye to Brenna Cuccia — we say see you soon.

Over the years, Brenna has been one of the familiar faces greeting our crews as we brought patients into the hospital. No matter how busy or stressful the situation was, her calm demeanor, compassion, and professionalism always stood out. She truly represents what being a nurse is all about.

While we will miss seeing her, we know another hospital is gaining an incredible nurse who will continue to spread her excellence and care to so many others.

Thank you, Brenna, for everything you have done for our members, our patients, and our community over the years. Wishing you nothing but success in this next chapter — once RVAC family, always RVAC family. 💙
