Plenty Ambulance Service

Plenty Ambulance Service provided free, emergency care and transport to residents of the South Bronx from 1978 until 1982. In 1982 the Plenty Ambulance Service received New York’s Jefferson Award for “outstanding public service.” The Emergency Medical Technician training program graduated 100 NY State-licensed EMTs in the South Bronx over the same period.
