The public is invited to learn more about the Brockport Volunteer Ambulance Corps during an open house set for Saturday, August 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 38 Market Street in the village.
The open house coincides with the Brockport Arts Festival and Ambulance President David Rice says the station and ambulance will be open and refreshments will be served.
“We will be conducting demonstrations of the equipment we use when we are called for help,” Rice says. “We will also be available to answer general questions about the Corps and specifically those involving becoming a member of our organization.”
The Ambulance Corps will be joined by Lakeside Health System which will be providing information on the early recognition of strokes and other health tips.
“We are very pleased to team up with Lakeside who has been a vital partner to us over our 50 year history to offer this important and potentially life saving information,” Rice says.
He adds that since completing its separation from the village, the Ambulance Corps has been focused on improving the service it provides to residents in the greater Brockport area as well as its ability to answer requests for service.
“This focus is often directed inward and as a result, some residents might not even realize that we are still here, making progress and wanting to help our community,” Rice explains. “This open house is our way of sharing the focus and commitment of our members with those we serve.”
