Exchange Ambulance of the Islips

Exchange Ambulance of the Islips Exchange Ambulance of the Islips is a volunteer non-profit organization that provides EMS to Islip, East Islip, Islip Terrace and Great River since 1951.

We respond to approximately 3,700 calls a year for emergency medical assistance. Our district stretches from Connetquot Avenue in Great River to Saxon Avenue in Islip and from the South Shore to Spur Drive on the north end including all of Hecksher State Park and parts of Connetquot State Park, 2 school districts, and 4 fire districts. Calls for emergency medical assistance are answered by our fiv

e New York State Department of Health Certified ambulances and two First Response vehicles. Besides answering calls for emergency medical assistance, Exchange Ambulance also provides “standby” EMS services for special events such as concerts, sporting events, and other large gatherings of people. Our Special Operations vehicle is equipped with large amounts of supplies and specialized equipment to handle these “standby’s” as well as large numbers of injuries in the event of a large scale disaster. An EMS Bike Patrol unit and All Terrain Vehicles assist us in providing medical care in any situation, be it a crowded concert or parade or a remote wooded area. Due to our specialized equipment and experience in handling theses types of events, Exchange Ambulance has been called upon to provide our assistance for large scale events throughout Suffolk County.

Today at approximately 2:15PM, Exchange Ambulance was activated for an EMS alarm for an injured hiker in the wooded trails at Hecksher State Park. An ambulance crew, Paramedic First Responder, and Chief Robbins responded to the scene. Additional crews at Headquarters along with Chief Stadelman also responded with our All Terrain unit which is equipped with medical equipment and a stretcher and can reach patients in areas inaccessible to a standard ambulance. With assistance from bystanders on scene, the ambulance crew was able to locate the patient on foot and then direct our All Terrain unit to the patient’s side. The patient had minor injuries and was assisted to the stretcher and then moved by our All Terrain Unit to the where the ambulance was located. This specialized equipment along with our well trained and dedicated crews led to a rapid and successful treatment and transportation of this injured hiker.
