The Park Slope Volunteer Ambulance Corps was founded by members of the Park Slope community in 1992. At the time, New York City's Emergency Medical Services were significantly overburdened. The number of calls for help challenged available resources. Ambulance response times were often extended. In the case of critical calls, a delay of several minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Calls that are less severe in nature can rapidly deteriorate into critical calls. As a result, members of Park Slope and the surrounding communities came together and created the Park slope Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
