Summary
The ambulance committee reported 36 calls, mutual aid to three neighboring towns, and a submitted grant application of approximately $40,000 to purchase a power stretcher; several staff were recognized for life-saving efforts involving a 14-year-old.
The ambulance committee reported 36 total calls for the month and noted mutual aid to Olive, Lexington and Woodstock. The committee said it submitted "an approximate $40,000 grant for a power stretcher," a piece of equipment listed as a capital need by department members.
Committee members also publicly recognized Shandaken employees and specific crew members for resuscitating a 14-year-old after a skiing accident; awardees named in the report included the medical director, AJ Hell team, Chief Richard Molilei, paramedic Melvin Harrington and Captain Jason Kreitzberg. The board later authorized posting for an Ambulance Administrator role to support operations.
