The generous support from this grant ensures that Elverson Honey Brook Area EMS can continue providing top-tier emergency medical services while minimizing the financial burden on the community.

“We are incredibly grateful for the grant funding that made this purchase possible,” said Matthew Welch, Chief. “This new ambulance, along with the advanced PowerLOAD system, will help our members respond more safely and efficiently to emergencies, ultimately benefiting the patients we serve.”

Elverson Honey Brook Area EMS remains committed to providing high-quality emergency medical care and continuously improving its resources to meet the needs of the community. The department extends its appreciation to Honey Brook Township, the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, the Local Share Account,and all stakeholders who contributed to making this acquisition a reality.
