East Windsor Ambulance Association - Paramedic Services

We Need Your Help

The East Windsor Ambulance Association has begun a “We love East Windsor Ambulance” campaign to encourage town residents to speak up in support of emergency medical services funding.

First Selectwomen Denise Menard, for two years, has threatened our EMT's and Paramedic's with changing to a commercial for-profit Ambulance Company, if we do not provide the service for free. She has now made her pitch to other members of the Board of Selectmen to follow her lead. They are seeking proposals from for profit companies to bid zero for providing service. She may feel she is being the taxpayer’s hero by taking such bold action, but I assure you and stake my 36 year public safety career that you will get what you pay for.

From 2005 to 2009, we received $125,000 in funding annually from the Town of East Windsor. Since 2005, the association has not requested an increase in funding.  Last year for the 2009 - 2010 fiscal year, we were threatened with a 20% cut and then agreed to a 10% reduction, giving us $112,500 in funding. Now they no longer want to fund emergency medical services at all. $125,000 for the level of service that East Windsor receives is a great bargain. Our staff is committed to ensuring great service to our residents. We have knowledge of our community and we know many of our patients by name. Our response times are exceptional, our medical interventions are superior to most services, and our staffing levels are unmatched per capita in the region.

The service that we provide you is now in jeopardy and we need your help today. We have received a steady stream of residents that have asked “How can we help?” so we decided to give them a way to help with our message. We have available “We Love East Windsor Ambulance” signs to display on your lawn. If you call me at 860-654-0515 or 860-818-5545, we will be happy to bring you one.

We also ask that you also contact your Board of Selectmen and tell them to stop the threats and restore ambulance funding.  We would love emails of support, and we will be happy to bring your letters with us to board meetings in the future.  We have created an email account specifically to allow everyone to easily voice their opinions, please email them to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Our service is a non-profit community ambulance and our staff has served this community proudly since 1978. Please follow us in our "Local News" section for the latest information.  Help us continue to help you and your neighbors by displaying a sign of support.

Sincerely,

Thomas J Clynch III
