Croce Verde Verona

What Croce Verde Verona does

Croce Verde Verona P.A.V. is an Istituzione Pubblica di Assistenza e Beneficenza (IPAB) of the Veneto Region, founded on 27 November 1909 and recognized as an Ente Morale by Royal Decree of Vittorio Emanuele III on 21 February 1926. It operates the SUEM 118 emergency medical dispatch service for the province of Verona under convention with Azienda Zero (the successor entity to the former ULSS) and coordinates the response of approximately 50 emergency vehicles and 1,500+ volunteers across 18 territorial locations (13 operative sedi plus 5 hospital-based sezioni). Its core services are emergency ambulance response (basic, infermierizzato, medicalizzato), patient transport between healthcare facilities, scheduled private transports, and event medical assistance including long-standing mandates with Hellas Verona, Chievo Verona and Fondazione Arena di Verona. Secondary offerings include a Nucleo Protezione Civile for major-incident response, organ transport for medical facilities, and a Centro di Formazione IRC delivering accredited resuscitation and corporate first-aid courses.

The operating model blends a public-sector revenue base (SSN/regional conventions, municipal and regional contributions) with event-assistance fees, paid external training, and donations/sponsorship. Volunteer recruitment is sustained via free training for aspiranti soccorritori (only a refundable uniform deposit) and continuous internal certification, while a small core of employed personnel, physicians and nurses supports the infermierizzato and medicalizzato fleets. Governance rests on a Consiglio d'Amministrazione led by President Avv. Michele Romano, with a Segretario Direttore (Cesare Peron), a Direttore Sanitario (Dario Mastropasqua), and a Consigliere Comandante (Tommaso Sanna) heading the volunteer corps. The 2023 Statute (Resolution 11/2023, Regional Decree 20/2024) and October 2024 Volunteer Corps Regulation formalize the current operating framework.

Total reported operating scale is approximately 60,000 interventions per year, 1 million km driven annually, 365-day coverage, and 1,500+ active volunteers, making Croce Verde Verona one of the largest volunteer-driven EMS organizations in northern Italy. The entity is independent (no parent, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity) and is classified as a private nonprofit IPAB rather than a listed or PE-backed entity.
