What happens when emergencies happen?
We all know that emergencies happen and we all hope that they
don’t happen often, but are we prepared for an emergency?
It used to be that during an emergency the first reaction was to
call 9-1-1. But now, in our neighborhood of Crown Heights, people
automatically think to call Hatzalah.
THAT CHANGE DID NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
It took hard work, perseverance, and most importantly,
overwhelming support from our community and people like you, to
make Hatzalah into the reliable, life-saving service that is it today.
Please show your support with a generous
contribution because Hatzalah is always ready
when emergencies happen…
IT ALL STARTS WITH PHONE CALL
A person living in Crown Heights
knows that when something
goes wrong they call Hatzalah.
That phone call sets in motion a
series of seamlessly coordinated
events that will, with G-d’s help,
prevent a tragedy.

STATE-OF-THE-ART AMBULANCES…
Did you know that it costs $150,000 to purchase an
ambulance? Did you know that it costs $25,000 just to
maintain each ambulance every year? Many of us take
Hatzalah’s service for granted. Many of us do not realize
how much it costs to sustain the best volunteer
ambulance in the world.
But as important as ambulances are, Hatzalah’s most
valuable assets are our members…
…in Crown Heights and always readyto respond to an emergency.

40
…members equipped with the most advanced, State-of-the-art,
life-saving equipment to ensure that each patient gets the best
possible care and opportunity for a full recovery. Hundreds of
pieces of equipment —radios, defibrillators, medications and
more—must be well-maintained and serviced. It is no wonder
that our budget is almost $275,000 a year. Because saving lives
deserves the very best.
Hatzalah’s members are thoroughly trained and always available…
DEDICATED MEMBERS INCROWN HEIGHTS…
That means our members are on call and available to help
literally 24/7 all year long. That means stopping in the middle
of the Seder on Pesach night or leaving shul on Yom Kippur to
answer a call for help.
Because that’s what it means to be a dedicated Hatzalah
member. And don’t forget, they’re all volunteers. Hatzalah is a
100% volunteer organization with the best coordinated
volunteer staff of any organization in the world.
Because we take our responsibility very seriously on behalf of
the members of our community…
DAYS—AND NIGHTS—A YEAR…

THE THOUSANDS OFJEWISH PEOPLE WHO CALL CROWNHEIGHTS THEIR HOME.
Some of the emergencies Hatzalah responds to
on a regular basis: Choking/airway obstructions,
cardiac arrest, burns, motor vehicle accidents,
heart attacks, strokes, cuts, fractures.
The scope is remarkable—Crown Heights
Hatzalah runs a vast operation. Yet, despite all of
the people that we serve, everyone knows they
can count on us when they are in need.
All of this is made possible through the generous support of people like…
You!
You have a share in EVERY LIFE that Hatzalah saves.
