There Is A Need For Ambulance Volunteers In Steuben County

Steuben County Legislative Chairman Scott Van Etten says, emergency medical services don’t have the number of volunteers around the county, that they used to.  “EMS (Emergency Medical Services) is hurting for bodies, as far as the number of people there are, to do the work goes,” said Van Etten.  “A lot of our volunteer ambulance corps across the county, they are aging out.  You don’t have a lot of the volunteers that are coming in, that are from the younger generation.”  Bath area county legislator Kelly Fitzpatrick agrees.  “Our ambulance services are having a hard time getting volunteers and the need for medical services continues to grow.”
