Currently our program provides primary ALS coverage for the Village of Spring Valley and parts of the Towns of Ramapo and Clarkstown at night, with supplemental coverage by day. We are proud to be an agency on the cusp of innovation.

Earlier this evening, Spring Hill West responded on a mutual aid request to Ringwood NJ for a patient experiencing chest pain.

Upon arrival, crews found the patient in cardiac arrest. CPR had already been initiated immediately by the Ringwood Police Department, who also promptly applied an AED. Just moments after Spring Hill West arrived, crews delivered additional shocks, successfully restoring the patient’s pulse.

Shortly thereafter, the patient went back into cardiac arrest. Our crew continued aggressive resuscitative efforts, delivering an additional three shocks and once again achieving return of spontaneous circulation.

With the closest paramedic approximately 20 minutes away, Ringwood Police requested a medical helicopter. The patient was transported to the designated landing zone, where care was transferred to the Hackensack Air Medical team for rapid transport to an area hospital.

This call is a testament to the importance of immediate bystander intervention, high-quality CPR, rapid AED deployment, and the seamless teamwork between Ringwood Police Department, Spring Hill Community Ambulance Corps, and Hackensack Air Medical. Every second matters in cardiac arrest, and tonight’s outcome was made possible through the outstanding efforts of everyone involved.
