The first meeting of the new Board of Directors of Westbrook Ambulance Association Incorporated was on June 5. In advance of the meeting, the auditor’s report was requested from the Town (on May 28), but – despite the Town possessing the report – it was not sent by the Town until June 9. Undeterred, the Board decided to conduct its own review going back to 2013.

Immediate progress has already been made identifying and correcting deficiencies in accounting, operations, and policy practices. We are happy to finally have the auditor’s report and will review it along with our own information to make further improvements and determine whether any person(s) must be held accountable for acts of malfeasance. The WAA is committed to initiating litigation if necessary to return assets wrongfully taken from the WAA. No one wants the issues of the past to remain unremedied.

This is the first Board of Directors since the last one dissolved approximately fifteen years ago. This group of volunteers will oversee the organization’s administrative responsibilities such as financial oversight, legal compliance, strategic planning, policy development, and ensuring that the organization operates ethically and responsibly.

The dedicated Officers and Members of the Westbrook Ambulance Association are proud to serve the Town of Westbrook and surrounding areas providing vital Emergency Medical Services day and night.

Help us help you, and your neighbor!

Middlesex County was classified as experiencing a High Transmission Rate by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

As of Monday, August 16, 2021, masks will be required of all persons entering Town government facilities, regardless of vaccination status.

As the primary EMS responders in Westbrook, our EMT’s are continuing to take the steps to prevent unnecessary exposure/spread to not only ourselves but also the citizens we protect.

We are ACTIVELY responding to COVID positive patients or patients experiencing COVID symptoms. It never stopped from March 2020.

1. We are here responding to all calls 24/7 without the interruption of emergency services. We respond to ALL types of medicals, including COVID patients.

2. Please do not be alarmed if you see members of our department dressed in additional personal protective equipment(PPE) like gowns, face masks, N95s, and eye protection. This is just a precautionary measure to protect you and our members.

3. You may be asked to meet our members at your front door or outside the building.

4. The initial evaluation performed by our members may be performed at a distance of 6 feet or more until further assessment can be completed.

5. We ask that you are wearing a mask if you call 911. If you do not have one, or cannot find it (or any other reason), we WILL provide you one. The hospitals are requiring ALL visitors to wear one despite vaccination status.

6. Please, if you suspect you may have Covid-19, speak to your primary care physician before calling 911 unless it’s a true emergency.

7. Once again, these actions are out of an abundance of caution while we do our part to limit potential exposure.

Please share this information with at least one family member, friend or neighbor so they aren’t alarmed if they call 911.

All those 65 and older are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in CT. This is going to be difficult for some people aged 65 and over especially ones who don't have email or the internet. If you have a neighbor or friend that you know of who may be in that position it may be a nice neighborly thing to assist them with this process.

The CT DPH has trained over 100 specialists to answer the new Vaccine Appointment Assist Line which is available 7 days a week between 8am and 8pm to assist people with scheduling their vaccine appointment. They can be accessed by calling 877-918-2224.

Please share this information with loved ones and neighbors aged 65 and older who have not yet received their COVID-19 vaccine.

From all of us here at Westbrook Ambulance we hope you are enjoying the snow. If you need to travel on the roads, please be cautious. We want to thank the CT DOT and our Westbrook Department of Public Works for all of their work keeping the streets clear of snow.
