We are refinishing our basement in order to move supplies out of the office area as well as create a smaller office for the Quartermaster and Training Officer. The office upstairs will become better utilized when it can fit more than 3 people.

LVAC has several Paramedics who are volunteers. With the increasing numbers of Paramedics, the Corps feels that it would be beneficial to our communities to add Advanced Life Support Services that will add upon our Basic Life Support service that we currently provide.

Advanced Life Support is an expensive proposition, however, the expense is worth saving more lives. The Corps estimates the total cost of implementing ALS to be in the range of $50,000, with the largest chunk being a manual defibrillator, which costs upwards of $15,000. ALS service provides the highest level of pre-hospital care available in New York State and includes medication administration, IV Therapy, and Intubation.
