Catskills Hatzalah Holds Ribbon-Cutting For New Bauer Family Kiamesha Garage [PHOTOS & VIDEOS]

Catskills Hatzalah officially dedicated its new Bauer Family Kiamesha Garage on Thursday afternoon with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Hatzolah leadership and members, elected officials, emergency services representatives, community leaders, and supporters from across Sullivan County and beyond.

Located at the intersection of Fraser Road and Anawana Lake Road, the state-of-the-art facility will serve as a key emergency response hub for the Catskills year-round, with a particular focus on serving the region during the busy summer months. Its central location provides quick access to Liberty, Ferndale, Fallsburg, and major highways, helping volunteers respond more rapidly to emergencies throughout the area.

A standout feature of the new building is a fully equipped apartment for volunteer paramedics who come to the Catskills to serve 24-hour shifts throughout the year, particularly during the nine months outside the summer season, when dedicated volunteers relocate to the area to ensure advanced emergency medical coverage remains available year-round. The comfortable accommodations allow on call Paramedics to remain strategically close to emergency equipment and respond immediately when lifesaving care is needed.

Hatzolah officials thanked the Town of Thompson for its assistance in helping bring the project to fruition and offered special recognition to the Bauer family, whose generosity made the facility possible. The family not only funded the project but was deeply involved in its construction, with Mr. Dovy Bauer personally overseeing countless details from the earliest planning stages through completion.

The new Bauer Family Kiamesha Garage is expected to significantly enhance Hatzolah’s emergency medical capabilities and strengthen service to the tens of thousands of residents and visitors who rely on the organization throughout the year.
