To a great friend, who was always the life of the party. He will be missed, my thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP Squigs

I just wanted to share this with everybody. I thought it was important to get the information out so that we can keep the record straight. Sent on behalf of Dr. Nicholas DeRobertis, Westchester REMAC Chair/Regional Medical Director To: All Regional ALS Services Re: End of Hudson Valley Paramedic Services (HVPS) ALS Suspension As of this afternoon, it has been determined that Empire State Ambulance, dba Hudson Valley Paramedic Services (HVPS), has enough Westchester REMAC credentialed paramedics to support 24-hr staffing in our region. In recognition of their ability to meet the requirement per the Westchester REMAC Medical Control Plan, the suspension of intra-regional ALS operations has been officially lifted. HVPS is now authorized to resume full ALS services in the Westchester Region. If there are any questions regarding this announcement, please contact the Regional EMS Office at 914-231-1616. Katherine O'Connor, BS, EMT-P/CIC Program Specialist, EMS Division Program Coordinator, REMSCO Westchester County Department of Emergency Services

I would like to clarify the rumor that Hudson Valley Paramedics has lost their ALS license. They have not lost their ALS license, they agreed with Weschester REMAC to suspend their credentials in the 911 emergency system so that they can credential all paramedics to maintain westchester standards. This is only in effect for the next 2 weeks and Hudson Valley Paramedics will perform all other fuctions as normal. It would be nice if instead of people bashing and spreading unverfied information that they just go to the source. On a side note they are not involved with any hostile takeover of any kind and hold themselves to a better standard of work ethics and community commitment. From the people I know this company is indeed attempting to successful and not image from the past.
