Town of Hoosick Rescue Squad

What Town of Hoosick Rescue Squad does

Hoosick Regional Emergency Medical Services, Inc. (formerly the Town of Hoosick Rescue Squad) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit emergency medical services provider founded in 1957 and headquartered at 21 1st Street, Hoosick Falls, New York. The organization delivers 24/7/365 pre-hospital emergency medical response to residents and visitors of the Town of Hoosick and surrounding rural communities in upstate New York and adjacent Vermont, staffed by a mix of paid EMTs, Advanced EMTs (AEMTs), and volunteers under medical direction of Dr. Heidi Cordi, a nationally recognized EMS physician affiliated with Albany Medical Center.

The core product is direct emergency medical response and transport, with AEMTs providing an intermediate level of care between basic EMT and paramedic services. Service delivery relies on conventional EMS equipment, pre-hospital care protocols, and ambulance assets (including a 2019 Ford E450 PL Custom ambulance acquired in 2025). Supporting offerings include community outreach and public education, a volunteer recruitment program, charitable donations (one-time and recurring), and outsourced insurance billing handled by Emergency Management Resources (EMR). The underlying platform is operationally simple: dispatch, on-scene care, and transport to area hospitals such as Southwestern Vermont Medical Center and Albany Medical Center.

The business model blends three revenue streams: (1) usage-based service revenue from insurance reimbursements for emergency transports (processed through third-party billing partner EMR), (2) recurring and one-time community donations solicited through a website portal at preset tiers ($10–$40 and custom), and (3) municipal support from the Town of Hoosick plus grants. The go-to-market is community-led — direct service delivery with no traditional sales motion — supplemented by local event participation, volunteer recruitment, and a public education footprint. There is no public disclosure of revenue, pricing, or financial scale.
