Point Boro EMS

You can help us to provide the service to the community for which we have been known to provide for nearly 50 years!

Point Boro EMS is a non-profit, volunteer organization that depends largely on fundraising and voluntary contributions from the citizens and governing body of Point Pleasant Boro. Donations made to Point Boro EMS allow us to preserve our current equipment and to purchase the most advanced medical equipment available to serve the residents of our service area.

🚑 NEW AMBULANCE 🚑

Yesterday, Chief Alexander and the members of Point Boro EMS took delivery of our new Ambulance 356. Replacing our 2016 Ford E350 is a 2026 F350 chassis with a Demers Ambulances MXP150 module.

Maintaining our fleet reaffirms our mission in providing the highest quality of care to our residents. As our ambulances wear and tear through years of calls for service, endless hours of emergency driving and idling, eventually, the cost benefit ratio in maintaining vehicles that will subsequently require more serious repairs and maintenance becomes impractical, consequently making us place an ambulance out of service for an extended time for repairs. This new ambulance allows us to operate at full capacity to provide professional service to our residents.

Huge shoutout to First Priority Group for their dedication in completing this project. We would also like to thank Mayor Sabosik and Borough Council for supporting our agency needs and providing us the best equipment to serve the Borough of Point Pleasant Borough.

Over the weekend, our members took a break from the rigs to celebrate both a late Easter and welcome the Spring season together with a potluck style dinner.

Afterwards, we traded gloves for dye kits and turned eggs into what we’ll call creative masterpieces!

Being volunteers and having conflicting schedules, we are grateful for moments like these outside of answering calls for service. Building teamwork, sharing laughs, and strengthening the bond that we have with each other helps us serve our community at the highest level!

This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. We would like to thank this special group of people for all the hard work they put in 24/7, 365 days a year. They are the voice you hear throughout the chaos. They are often forgotten, under appreciated, and rarely thanked for what they do. Several of our members are Public Safety Telecommunicators and we understand the stresses that they experience on a daily basis.

A very special thank you to our dispatchers at Point Pleasant Police Department for ensuring the public safety entities of Point Pleasant receive the best services as well as providing the best quality service to our residents!

Since 2021, Dr. Matthew Letizia has been the EMS Medical Director for our agency. Dr. Letizia is a highly qualified, dual-certified EMS and Emergency Medicine Physician for Trinitas Regional Medical Center as well as the Medical Director for multiple other EMS agencies around the state. The purpose of having a Medical Director is to provide medical aspects of leadership, oversight, coordination, access to best practices, system quality management, and research in order to ensure the best possible EMS system for patients.

Since then, our agency has been proud supporters of the Gary Letizia Memorial Blood Drive, hosting numerous blood drives at our squad building. Through the support of our community members, whether through donating or helping spread the word, the Gary Letizia Memorial Blood Drive has reached an extraordinary milestone of 5,000 pints donated (625 gallons) through 146 successful blood drives around the state!

Each donation has the potential to save up to three lives, meaning this effort may have impacted as many as 15,000 patients, neighbors, families, and individuals in critical need. Many lives have been saved, time has been given, and hope has been restored when it mattered most.

As a proud sponsor of this life saving mission, we would like to thank our community members for donating to this great cause. We will continue to support the Gary Letizia Memorial Blood Drive and hope to see you at our next hosted drive!

For the entirety of March, we honored the strength, courage, and dedication of the incredible women who serve our organization as volunteers.

During Women’s History Month, we recognized not only their commitment to caring for our community, but also the barriers they’ve broken and the paths they continue to pave for future generations.

Chief Alexander commends the women of our agency for their professionalism and commitment to service. Your impact on the community does not go unnoticed.

Pictured are few of the many committed volunteers who serve on a daily basis.

Earlier this week our agency’s Emergency Service Unit (ESU) conducted some extrication training at John Blewett’s Recycling in Howell Township. This training provided an opportunity for our team members to practice their vehicle extrication techniques that would be used to safely remove a patient from a car after a motor vehicle crash.

Staying prepared is essential to what we do, and it reflects our commitment to providing the highest standard of care and service to the community we proudly serve. Thank you to Blewett’s Recycling for providing us vehicles to support this training day!

Earlier this week during the blizzard, our volunteers staffed all our ambulances along with our utility truck equipped with a plow to ensure we were able to respond to calls for service, no matter the roadway condition. During the 24 hour period of the storm, our agency handled 12 calls for service.

As always, our volunteers are willing to serve, no matter the time, no matter how severe the storm may be. Chief Alexander commends our members for their commitment and service to our residents! As always, we thank you for your support so that we can continue providing the highest quality of care to our community.

🚨MUTUAL AID ASSIST 🚨

On February 3, 2026, Point Boro EMS responded into Manchester Township to assist with an evacuation of a nursing home facility subsequent to an apparent water problem within the facility. Ambulance 357 assisted in the evacuation of approximately 50 patients in coordination with local, county, and state authorities. Ambulance 357 operated on scene for several hours until released by Incident Command on scene.

While we are always there to serve the residents of the Borough, we are always willing and proud to assist our partner agencies and their communities in their time of need!

Today we came together to honor and send off an incredible woman who gave so much of herself to others. Janice White dedicated more than four decades to nursing, touching countless lives with her kindness, warmth, and unwavering compassion.

To so many patients and coworkers, she was more than a nurse; she was a mentor, a friend, and a steady source of comfort on the hardest days.

Her legacy lives on in the many lives she helped heal, the lessons she taught, and the example she set. We are grateful for the privilege of knowing her and serving alongside her. Rest peacefully Janice,
you will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
