The Bedford-Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corps (BSVAC) was founded in 1988 by Captain James “Rocky” Robinson and Specialist Joe Perez as the nation’s first multi-racial volunteer ambulance corps. Established to address the emergency medical service crisis in New York’s minority communities, BSVAC has become a vital resource in Bedford-Stuyvesant and beyond.
Responding to over 1,200 emergency calls annually, BSVAC has reduced response times to under 4 minutes. The organization has trained over 2,000 local residents in emergency medical care, fostering the next generation of EMTs and healthcare professionals.
Donations are essential for maintaining ambulance equipment and ensuring that no one is turned away due to financial constraints. Your support sustains life-saving services and community training programs.
