FOUR BABIES, ONE MONTH, AND FOUR INCREDIBLE MOMENTS!

October has been an extra special month for Spring Hill! Our dedicated crews helped bring FOUR healthy babies into the world!

And the latest arrival? Just last night at approximately 4:20 AM, while most of the community was fast asleep, our BLS and ALS crews were out doing what they do best — answering the call!

Our members responded to a woman in labor and helped deliver a healthy baby boy!

A big congratulations to the proud parents, and an outstanding job by our EMTs and paramedics!

A huge shoutout to our incredible volunteers who continue to go above and beyond, answering the call around the clock. Whether it’s 4 in the afternoon or 4 in the morning, our crews are always ready to step up when our community needs them most!

Want to make a real difference and be part of moments like these? Join Spring Hill and become part of something special!

Answer the call. Make a difference. Join our family!

Earlier this week, our BLS and ALS responded to a mother in active labor and helped welcome a healthy baby boy into the world!

In EMS, we often respond during life’s most difficult moments, but calls like these remind us of the rewarding moments that come with serving our community.

We extend our warmest congratulations to the proud parents on the arrival of their beautiful baby boy!

A job well done to our responding members for helping bring a new life safely into the world!

Last Wednesday at 6:30 PM, Spring Hill officially cut the ribbon on our new Simulation Training Room!

The room is an exact replica of a Spring Hill ambulance, equipped with working medical equipment and a lifelike manikin that can speak, breathe, and bleed. The manikin allows us to simulate real-life emergencies and create realistic scenarios where members can practice everything from reading EKG rhythms, delivering shocks, performing cardioversion and pacing, administering medications, establishing IV and IO access, intubation, surgical cricothyrotomies, needle decompression, and much more.

The goal is to give our members hands-on experience in a realistic environment so they can build their skills and confidence before responding to actual emergencies.

At Spring Hill, our observers progress through a 10-stage training program that takes someone with no EMS experience and develops them into a fully qualified crew chief. This room will allow trainees to practice realistic scenarios and move through the stages more efficiently. Members who join with prior experience can be evaluated using the manikin and placed at the appropriate stage based on their knowledge and skills.

Thank you to the members who stepped up to perform the live demonstration in front of doctors, hospital representatives, and community leaders. Performing under that kind of pressure is no small task!

BLS Crew: Euric Guerrero, Tranee Braun, and Menachem Feuer. ALS Crew: Seth Marchewka and Moe Ziegler
Patient’s Wife: Giselle Duque

A special thank you to the officers, and Past President Needleman for making this vision a reality. From the initial idea to building the ambulance replica, obtaining the manikins, and putting everything together, this project would not have been possible without their dedication and hard work.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special occasion. We look forward to putting this room to good use, improving our training, and continuing to provide the highest level of care to our community!

Introducing our newest crew chief!

Shoshana, "Shani", joined Spring Hill looking for hands-on experience and a chance to help those in need. The great training program and supportive environment sealed the deal for her.

Shani is currently in school for a bachelor’s in nursing, with the long-term goal of becoming a pediatric nurse, possibly in the ER. We’re sure her compassion and dedication will take her far, and we’re glad to have her as one of our members!

Last night, our BLS and ALS crews responded to a mother in active labor, with her baby ready to make his arrival!

Before crews arrived, Rockland EMS Dispatch provided instructions to help keep both mom and baby safe.

Just two minutes after arriving on scene, our crews, including our newest Crew Chief, Shani Machlis, helped deliver a healthy baby boy!

Both mom and baby were transported to a local hospital in stable condition and great spirits.

While EMS often brings us into people’s lives during their most difficult moments, calls like these remind us that we also get to be part of some of their happiest.

Congratulations to the new mom and dad on the arrival of their baby boy!

Great work by our responding crews, Ramapo PD, and Rockland EMS Dispatch for their teamwork in bringing this baby safely into the world!

Thinking about joining Spring Hill EMS? Take a shift before you decide! Ride with a crew and find out what it’s like in the back of an ambulance. You'll get to see what EMS is all about before deciding if it's for you.

Already have EMS experience? You won’t start from square one. Ride with an officer and see what Spring Hill’s response is really like. Our training program fast-tracks experienced members, and you’ll be placed at the training stage that matches your skill level so you can get on the road sooner.

One shift is all it takes to see if Spring Hill is your next home. If you're interested in scheduling a ride-along, email Rebecca Finney ([email protected]).

Congratulations to our own President Akiva Zidell on graduating with honors from University of Mount Saint Vincent and passing his NCLEX! Akiva has spent months working hard as a nursing student in an accelerated program while simultaneously dedicating countless hours to Spring Hill as an officer.

We're grateful to have been part of his growth as a medical provider and look forward to his continued success.

Yesterday evening the officers of Spring Hill EMS had the pleasure of attending an EMS Forum hosted by Congressman Michael Lawler.

This forum provided an opportunity for EMS leaders across the NY-17 congressional district to come together and discuss the challenges facing our agencies, and express our perspectives, thoughts and ideas on the future of emergency medical services.

We appreciate the open dialogue and the Congressman’s willingness to listen and engage in meaningful conversation, giving the opportunity to bring the voices of our EMS providers directly to our elected representatives.

As the demands on emergency medical services continue to evolve, meaningful conversations and collaboration between EMS agencies and government leaders are crucial to ensuring that our communities continue to receive the care they deserve.

Thank you to Congressman Lawler and his team for organizing this important discussion and providing a platform for EMS to be heard.

Introducing our newest crew chief!
Ariela joined Spring Hill looking to become a part of a community of people with similar values. She found members who were eager to help her develop the skills that would ensure her success in EMS. As a crew chief, she enjoys giving back by teaching new trainees.

When she's not taking calls, you can find Ariela working as a figure skating coach. She began skating when she was 4 and spends as much time on the ice as possible. Her commitment is impressive and we know that patients are lucky to have her as their provider.
