About Us:

Queens Hatzolah was founded in 1978. After witnessing the success of Chevra Hatzolah in Brooklyn, 7 Queens residents decided to bring the organization to our neighborhood. In 1979 we began transporting patients by station wagon and in 1981 we purchased our first ambulance. From these humble beginnings, we have grown into our current multi faceted organization with top-of-the-line training, equipment, and ambulances.
