P-Release: Ambler Ambulance Gets New Vehicle, Executive Director

Release sent to Upper Dublin Patch by CAAA, and posted at editor's discretion.

Thanks to a grant from the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program, administered by FEMA and with generous contributions from our community and businesses, Community Ambulance Association, Ambler (CAAA) has recently placed into service a 2011 Ford/Leader ambulance, designated Medic 351-3.

This new ambulance replaces a 1999 unit that was retired with over 150,000 miles of service. Medic 351-3 is a Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU) that will be staffed with a Paramedic and an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) to help CAAA provide Emergency Medical Services to the community.

Ambler Ambulance also welcomes their new Executive Director, Scott Welker. Mr. Welker brings with him significant experience in the Emergency Medical Services field as well as a strong business management background.

The Executive Director oversees all aspects of CAAA and reports to the Board of Directors of the organization. This Board is comprised of representatives from each of the municipalities that we serve (Ambler Borough, Upper Dublin Township and Lower Gwynedd Township), the Chief of Operations and several other community members and business leaders.

Mr. Welker is “excited to be affiliated with a quality organization with talented leadership and staff (both career and volunteer). I am looking forward to helping to move this organization forward and to continue to provide the best service possible to our municipalities, residents and guests. Receiving this new ambulance through a grant is a great achievement and it is the result of lots of hard work by our staff. Please visit us and we will be pleased to provide a tour of the new ambulance and our facilities.”

With the addition of the new ambulance and Executive Director, Community Ambulance Association, Ambler is prepared to continue to improve the quality of services provided to the community and fulfill its’ mission of “Excellence in Pre-Hospital Care.”
