Each year, New Holland Ambulance holds an appreciation banquet to honor those that give of there own time to serve our community. Throughout the evening, awards, door prizes and recognition are given to members who have given many dedicated years of service. Awards are also given that honor members who have Pre-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Saves within the prior year.
New Holland Ambulance is proud of the medical care and community service we provide each and every minute of every day to our neighbors. This is possible because of the men and women who volunteer their time to go back to school and become certified Emergency Technicians. Each year these men and women train hard to become the best EMS providers they can be.
Thank you, to ALL our members for doing what you do.
