"Thank you so much for your service! You recently responded with professionalism and care to a medical emergency in our home, for which we're grateful." - Hilary
The Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad is made up of dedicated, skilled, and compassionate professionals whose mission is to provide the highest level of pre-hospital care while promoting a healthier community. Through patient care, advocacy, education, public service, and community involvement, we are committed to making a difference.
As part of the Virginia Beach 911 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system, the largest volunteer EMS system in the country, our squad has been addressing illness and injury prevention for over 80 years. However, the need for public safety, accident and illness prevention, pandemic relief, securing and retaining volunteer EMTs, and fostering positive community engagement is greater than ever.
The delivery of emergency care has never been more strained, and our squad plays a critical role in providing life-saving care and education to our community.
Thanks to your support, our crews are equipped with the necessary tools and training to respond to every emergency. You make this a true partnership, and your ongoing commitment ensures that we will always be here to help when you need us most.
