Today, members of the FAIST VAC participated in an important training session focused on PCR documentation.

PCRs (Patient Care Reports) are the medical reports EMS crews are required to complete during and after every call. Accurate and thorough documentation is a critical part of patient care and plays a major role in maintaining professionalism, continuity of care, and legal protection for providers and agencies alike.

The training was led by Avrumi Fried, a longtime member of William P. Faist, who shared valuable guidance and real-world experience on properly completing PCRs, avoiding common mistakes, and ensuring reports are documented clearly, accurately, and professionally.

We thank Avrumi for taking the time to educate and strengthen our members through this important training.

Today, members of William P. Faist Volunteer Ambulance Corps went down to Yeshiva of Spring Valley (YSV) for a special EMS demonstration and ambulance tour.

Students had the opportunity to get an up-close look inside one of our ambulances, learn about emergency medical services, see some of the equipment we use on calls, and ask questions about what EMS members do every day.

Thank you to YSV for having us. We always appreciate the opportunity to connect with the community and inspire the next generation.

If you’re hosting a community event, school program, carnival, or any type of gathering and would like us to attend, feel free to send us a message here. We are always happy to come out, meet the community, and bring the ambulance for people to explore.

Today our members had the opportunity to bring one of our ambulances to a local children’s carnival, where kids were able to come inside, ask questions, learn about EMS, and see firsthand what we do.
