Our Mission

The Past

Through a concentrated effort, extensive training and willingness to serve others; volunteers from every community within the town allowed TEVAS to become a reality in January 1983; when the State issued a license to operate.
Across the later 1980’s, we recorded more than 600 emergency calls, logged thousands of miles and earned the praises of our fellow EMS agencies, hospitals and community.
Although our volunteer strength was merely 43 members, we were constantly inviting interested residents to join us and become qualified EMTs, or to assist the squad in many other capacities.
In 1986 we purchased our own property on Rt. 9W our future looked brighter than ever, with goals including: construction of a permanent facility and purchasing a new ambulance.
The Present

We also constructed an addition onto our building in 2007, which was afforded to us by the gracious donations of our residents and the tireless efforts of our squad members. This remodeling of our facility serves not only as proof but also as a great tribute to how the squad has grown over the past 25 years.
The Future?
We don’t know what the future will hold for our Ambulance Squad. What we do know is: the town is growing, as is the number of calls. We hope to continue gaining membership as we have in the past few years, because if we can continue to grow with the times, we will keep on providing the great EMS service the residents of the Town of Esopus, have deservingly come to expect.
Maybe, one day, we will be able to provide our own Paramedic and Rescue units; allowing us to increase the range of services we gladly provide the ever expanding community.
Where will we be 25 years from today?
