Teaneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps

What Teaneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps does

Teaneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps (TVAC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all-volunteer emergency medical services organization founded in 1939 and headquartered at 855 Windsor Road, Teaneck, NJ. It is the sole designated emergency ambulance service for the Township of Teaneck, operating 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, and responding to more than 4,600 emergency calls annually (over 13 per day) through the 911 dispatch system coordinated by Teaneck Police. Core service delivery is Basic Life Support (BLS) performed by state-certified volunteer EMTs who respond directly from their current locations, supported by a fleet of five Freightliner medium-duty ambulances, one Ford F-350 Super Duty special operations pickup, and one John Deere Gator UTV. The 911 response platform integrates GPS pinpoint caller-location tracking with simultaneous dispatch of police, fire, TVAC, and paramedics over shared radio coordination.

TVAC does not bill for its services and has never done so; the entire operating model is funded by tax-deductible community donations processed via check and the CauseMatch online platform, covering training, insurance, medical supplies, and ambulance maintenance. Beyond emergency response, the organization offers standby medical coverage for community events such as sports games, block parties, street fairs, and religious events, as well as ambulance tours and safety demonstrations for local schools and camps and a ride-along observer program for community members. TVAC is governed by a 2026 officer corps consisting of a Chief (Ezra Finkelstein), President (Danny Senter), Vice President, Captains, Lieutenants, Treasurer, Trustees, and Secretary, with no parent company, institutional investors, or external ownership structure. Membership is structured into Full, Part-Time, and Associate categories with defined shift commitments, EMT certification requirements, and onboarding via standardized application forms.
