Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso today announced $575,000 in capital funding allocated to Hatzoloh Incorporated to buy two new all-electric ambulances, one to cover the Boro Park area and the other to cover the Williamsburg area. The FY24 capital funding allocation is the Borough President�s first to be publicly announced and will enable Hatzoloh Incorporated to meet the needs of the growing and aging population in Brooklyn.

�Growing up in Williamsburg, I saw firsthand how Hatzoloh enhances the health of entire neighborhoods,� said Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. �In times of great need and urgency, Hatzoloh first responders are there to provide comfort and care, and with two new ambulances, their reach can grow even larger. This allocation is a mark of gratitude for the many lives touched and saved by Hatzoloh and the incredible volunteers who dedicate their time to the well-being of all.�

�I am grateful to Borough President Reynoso for his allocation of $575,000 to help Hatzalah purchase two all-electric ambulances,” said Councilman Kalman Yeger. “Along with my allocation of $885,000 for an additional three ambulances, our partnership is bringing $1.46 million for 5 new ambulances to our Brooklyn neighborhoods to expand Hatzalah’s lifesaving work. Hatzalah is renowned for its highly trained volunteers who immediately respond to a medical emergency, no matter who you are or where you�re from. Government partnership is necessary to maintain Hatzalah�s lifesaving capacity, which eases the burden on the city’s 911 system. This partnership is just a small part of how the Borough President and I are working together to grow our community.”

�Hatzalah is grateful to partner with the City of New York and the Borough President�s office to provide top-of-line emergency medical services throughout the City and beyond. Every ambulance provided to Hatzalah is utilized in our life-saving work. The Borough President recognizes this and wants to continue to be a key participant and partner in our work. We are appreciative and grateful,� said Yehiel Kalish, CEO of Hatzoloh Incorporated.
