🚧 Progress Update on Our New Headquarters!

The big iron is being erected at the site of our new headquarters, marking a major milestone in this project.

This new facility will help us better serve our communities, support our crews, and strengthen emergency medical services throughout the Greater Pittston area. We’re proud to see this vision coming to life—one beam at a time.

Stay tuned for more updates as construction moves forward! 💙

🚑 It’s Giving Tuesday — and we invite you to make a life-saving impact.
This year, GPRA responded to 7,468 emergencies. Unlike police and fire services, we receive no tax-based funding from the communities we serve.

EMS reimbursement also falls short:

Only 62.7% of calls were even eligible for reimbursement

37.2% received no reimbursement at all

And when reimbursement does occur, it covers only about 40% of the true cost of the response

In a year where rising costs affect everyone, emergency services are no exception.

Your Giving Tuesday gift strengthens our ability to respond 24/7 by helping us:

Maintain and replace essential equipment

Offset critical operating costs

Support our life-saving mission for Greater Pittston

This season of giving, please consider adding GPRA to your list.
Your generosity directly supports the safety of your neighbors, your family, and our entire community.

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from the GPRA!

Today we’re especially grateful for the neighbors we serve, the communities who trust us, and the partners who support our mission throughout the year. Your continued support allows us to be there when it matters most.

We also want to recognize the EMTs, Paramedics, dispatchers, and first responders spending this holiday on duty. While many gather around the table with family, our crews stand watch — ready to respond, ready to help, and ready to make someone’s worst moment a little less frightening. Your dedication is the true heartbeat of our service.

From our GPRA family to yours, we wish you a safe, healthy, and peaceful Thanksgiving.
Stay safe. Be well. And thank you for being part of the community we’re proud to serve.

🚧 Progress Update at Our New Headquarters! 🚑

Exciting things are happening! Today, the contractor began pouring the concrete floor at our new headquarters. This is a major milestone in bringing our upgraded facility to life — one that will help us continue providing faster, safer, and more efficient emergency services to our community. This massive new garage space will allow us to keep most of our equipment under roof at this central location.

Stay tuned for more updates as construction moves along!

This morning, our crews were surprised with a delivery of coffee, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, and other treats—along with a thoughtful letter—dropped off by members of Christ Community Church of Kingston.

Your kindness, support, and appreciation mean more than you know. Gestures like this remind our first responders that the community stands behind them, and it truly lifts spirits during long days and nights.

Thank you, Pastor John Butch and the entire Christ Community Church family, for thinking of us and for your generosity. We are grateful for your continued support!
