Coudersport Ambulance Association
Unfortunately, earlier this week our primary ambulance was involved in a hit and run and our backup ambulance ran into some mechanical issues. This left us with no ambulances of our own and thankfully neighboring ambulance services were able to cover our district. Earlier today, Renovo Ambulance agreed to help us out and brought us one of their ambulances to use while we have ours out of service. So, for the next few days you may see Renovo’s ambulance around as we use it to serve our community. We are incredibly thankful for Renovo’s support so that we can continue to deliver our mission.
