A History of Healing
The wonderful people at the VRS always make sure to take care of their community, whether it be responding to an emergency or simply helping people get their BLS certification.

On February 19th I had a respiratory incident. My husband called the VRS and they responded immediately. As it turned out, they had to pull over on I-90 to do an emergency intubation. They went over and beyond and saved my life. I’d like to recognize Chris Douglas, Gerard Cuomo, Michael Turck, and Egune Smith. I can’t thank you all enough.
