Who We Are
Hatzolah is an army of trained, volunteer civilians.
You might sit next to them in shul, or meet them online in your local grocery
They might seem ordinary. But the work they do is extraordinary.
At any given moment, these men put their life on pause to respond to emergencies, often leaving their jobs, homes, shabbos meals, children’s graduations, and warm beds to save lives.
How we dispatch lifesaving aide:
Hatzolah dispatchers use Hatzolah’s cutting-Aided Dispatching system to determine the exact situation and location of every emergency. Dispatchers can then instantly communicate with on-duty volunteers through Motorola Radios.
