Union Volunteer Emergency Squad

July 1, 2022

Dear Town of Union Friends and Neighbors,

Your tax-deductible donation provides crucial and timely support that allows us to continue to focus on our core mission of providing high quality and innovative emergency medical services with care and compassion to the Town of Union Community. 

As we enter our 49^th year in service to the Town of Union, we continue to experience rapid growth in 9-1-1 service requests. In 2021 we exceeded 10,400 incidents, an increase of 20% from 2020. For 2022, we are on track to exceed 11,100 incidents.   

This rapid growth has kept us busy, hiring additional staff and purchasing new equipment and ambulances. This has allowed us to increase the number of daily staffed ambulance shifts, for our community, from five to seven.

The increase in additional staffed ambulances available to our community has required significant investment in personnel and equipment; including 10 new full-time employees, new ambulances ($350,000), cardiac monitors ($172,000), stretchers and moving equipment ($48,000), automated CPR devices ($30,000) and other miscellaneous equipment ($50,000); to ensure we can meet our Mission to the Town of Union Community.

This investment for pre-hospital emergency medical services in the Town of Union would not be possible without the commitment and generosity of our local community through tax-deductible donations. This generosity allows us to continue providing high quality services should you or your family need our help.

We “Thank You!” for your continued support, and please stay safe!

Graciously,

UVES Board of Directors
