What's New at Sand Lake?

Community Guardian LifeAlert 911 Program

Using grant funding from the Community Foundation of the Capital Region and donations made to Sand Lake Ambulance in memory of loved ones, the Sand Lake Ambulance was able to purchase 50 LifeAlert units. These units will be available to town residents who have income limitations and may not be able to afford a monthly subscription service from a lifeline-type program.

Our goal is to improve patient outcome by reducing the time it takes our medics to reach you after you call 911. This program provides hardware that plugs into a regular phone jack and automatically dials 911 with the touch of a button. This will allow people in need (due to some medical emergency) the ability to activate 911 for assistance with no monthly reoccurring fees.

Celebrating Over 50 Years, 1959-2010!

Thank You From Sand Lake Ambulance

The Members of Sand Lake Ambulance would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our neighbors and friends who gave so generously for our 2009 Fund Drive.

In this fast paced, crazy world we live in, we thought it would be a wonderful gesture to send hand written thank you notes to each and every one of you. Intelligence and common sense prevailed and we realized the cost of mailing them could be better spent on maintaining our Paramedic / Advanced Life Support (ALS) program with equipment upgrades and educational services.

We, as a community, are very fortunate to have the best pre-hospital care available, 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. Sand Lake Ambulance strives to deliver the highest in pre-hospital care through our dedicated volunteers and with the financial assistance of wonderful people like you.

If you have received our mailing & live outside of the Sand Lake Ambulance territory, please support your local volunteer ambulance agency
